Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Choose a strength of exercise tube which is comfortable to use during your training. While the tube should offer a challenge during your workout, it should not be so strong that it causes you pain or discomfort. If you cannot perform eight to ten continuous repetitions, your tubes are too strong.
Step2
Double your exercise tube and secure it to a steady object, such as a post or doorknob. Stand with your back to the tube connection and hold a handle securely in each hand with your palms down and knuckles facing forward. Step forward until there is resistance on the tubes.
Step3
Shift your body weight to one leg, bending and lifting the opposite knee. Push the tubes directly out in front of you in a smooth, continuous motions, training the muscles of your upper body and strengthening your core as you maintain your balance. Keep your elbows in towards your body, your wrists strong and straight and push forward so that your arms are perpendicular to the floor.
Step4
Complete at least eight repetitions, working your way up to fifteen. Relax and repeat on the opposite leg.
