Pushups with Resistance Tube 

 

 
  1. Begin by wrapping the medium tube around your upper back, grabbing onto either end of the tubing with both hands.
  2. Place hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulders.  You may need to wrap the tubing around each hand to hold it securely
  3. Get into pushup position, either on the knees or toes, back straight and abs tight.
  4. Begin the exercise in the up position then bend the elbows and lower down to the floor.
  5. Pushup back up and repeat.

Tips:

  • Practice this exercise without the tubing
  • Run the tubing on the inside of the arms for a more secure hold
  • If you don't feel safe and in control, just do the pushups without the tube
