Kickback w/ Tube and Dumbbells 

       

  1. Secure one end of light-medium tubing at about waist-level in front of you.
  2. Step back a few feet and loop resistance tube around a light-medium dumbbell until tube is tight.
  3. Begin the move by bending forward until torso is at 45 degrees or parallel to the floor, right elbow bent and next to ribcage.  
  4. Contract triceps to straighten elbow, bringing weight/tube to about hip level.
  5. Lower and repeat.
  6. Adjust the tension of the tube as needed to add challenge while still keeping good form.

Tips:

  • Keep the tubing and weight light at first--you want to add challenge without compromising form.
  • If you don't feel safe and in control, choose one type of resistance to use.
  • Keep the shoulders and hips stable throughout the movement.
