Resistance-Band Standing Serratu Push

Starting Position:

• Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Hold the resistance band with both hands, keeping your arms extended in front of you at shoulder height.

• Make sure the band is anchored securely behind you, either by stepping on it or tying it to a stable object.

Hand Position:

• Keep your hands in a neutral position with palms facing down.

• Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the resistance band.

Engaging Core:

• Tighten your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.

• This will help maintain stability throughout the exercise.

The Movement:

• Slowly push your hands forward while extending your arms, keeping them straight.

• Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you push.

Return to Start:

• Gradually return to the starting position by bending your elbows and drawing your hands back towards you.

• Maintain tension in the resistance band throughout the movement.

Repetitions and Sets:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions of the exercise.

• Aim for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips:

• Ensure that your back remains straight and does not arch as you perform the movement.

• Avoid using momentum; the movement should be controlled to maximize effectiveness and minimize injury risk.

Cool Down:

• After completing your sets, engage in light stretching to relax your muscles, particularly focusing on your arms and shoulders.
