MADISON CHASE: So we've done our chest, and I'm showing you how to do basic push-ups to super advance push-ups utilizing the ball. Now, we're going to take our band. We haven't actually used it, and we're going to make sure that our hands are shoulder-width apart and you're going to pull it to your chest, squeeze your shoulder blades together and release it. Keeping those elbows straight, you should really feel that in your lats, in your back, just like that. And you want to make sure that your shoulders are relaxed, so don't hunch your shoulders up, relax your shoulders down and completely try to squeeze your shoulder blades together. You should really feel that in your back. Let's see what it looks like from the side. You should really see my chest. I want you to stick your chest out at same time when you're pulling it back. And again, when you're doing this exercise, you also want to make sure that you're incorporating your abdominals, squeeze your tummy tight; give me a soft bend if you want to do this exercise standing. The same thing, you want to make sure that you squeeze your abdominals, stick that chest out, squeeze those shoulder blades together. That's a great way to incorporate utilizing your lats and your back, and you're also going to use your shoulders as well because it's stabilizing that movement. So this is part of the upper-body workout. Stay tuned for additional exercises for your chest and your back and your biceps and triceps.
