LOOPED RESISTANCE BAND | Punches & Push-Ups

Here is the latest in the series of resistance band exercises this time focusing on punches and push-ups.

You can see the rest of the series of videos subscribing here bands are a great versatile piece of equipment that can work almost anything so in this video I demonstrate more intense exercises.

The punches basically mimic boxing but add resistance to each punch. Wrap the band around your back and under the armpit then you are ready to go. Want to increase the intensity then squat while punching then you have an upper and lower body exercise at the same time.

For the push-ups exercise keep the band in the same place and drop into a push-up. This will make the exercise harder by adding resistance into the push phase of the exercise.

Try doing 30 seconds of punches followed by 30 seconds of push-ups then finish with 30 seconds of squat punches and see how you get on.

There is some misconception about the front lever being mostly a core exercise, when in truth the bulk of the work is done by the back muscles, with the assistance of the deltoids and the triceps.. There is of course an important core activation, in the abs, lower back, and glutes, but it is only secondary. So the first requirement for the front lever is having a strong back. A good way to test this is through your pulling strength. If you can li
