Moving the arms into the push-up position ► star
Power
Individual work
In the push-up position, place an elasticated band between the arms (wrap the band around the wrists). From the high support position, alternately change the position of one hand (arms always extended) by moving the hand along the floor to the new position (the other hand continues to hold the other end of the band on the floor). The sequence of movements is freely selectable, two possibilities would be, for example Hand right to the top right and back to the centre, hand right horizontally to the right side and back to the centre, hand right to the bottom right, then the same sequence with the left hand - or: hand right to the top right, hand left to the top left, hand right to the bottom right, hand left to the bottom left, hand left to the top left, hand right to the top right etc. The distance between the arms does not always have to remain shoulder-width apart and can also be varied.
Attention:
The arms remain practically stretched when moving and the band always has a certain amount of tension.
Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.
Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.
Variation:
Starting position in four-foot stance.
