Power Punch

This single arm exercise provides a good alternative to push up variations. It’s also a great core exercise! Anchor a band at approximately chest height, grip in one hand and adopt a split stance (opposite leg forwards) for balance. Step forward until you feel some tension in the elastic. Brace your body and smoothly punch the working arm straight out in front of you. Aim to keep your arm parallel to the floor and achieve full extension in the elbow. Pause then smoothly return to the start position and repeat. Don’t let the band push you around!
