How to Do Resistance Band Push Up

Form Cues

1. 1

   Band across upper back held in each hand, perform push up with added resistance

2. 2

   Keep core braced

3. 3

   Keep the body in a straight line from head to heels throughout, same as a standard push up

4. 4

   Lower under control — the band adds the most resistance at the top, so don't rush that portion

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Band slipping during the movement — ensure it is centered across the upper back before starting

• ●

  Sagging or piking the hips as fatigue sets in — maintain a rigid plank position for every rep

• ●

  Using a band that's too strong for your current push up strength — master the standard version first
