Area Targeted: Middle Abs

Want your abs to burn and get stronger FAST? Add Push Through With Tube Bands into your weekly routine. Bands create more tension as they elongate, so you will get more resistance at the optimal point of your rep – right at the end.

Follow the instructions below to perform this exercise:

SET UP

Anchor: Secure the band(s) to the door with the door anchor at knee height.

Bands: Attach both ends of the band(s) to one handle, and grip the handle with both hands.

Body Positioning: Lie on your back, with your head 3 to 4 feet away from the door. Your feet should be flat on the floor and legs bent, with knees up and about 6 inches apart. Position your arms so that they are bent, with the back of your hands about 6 inches above your chin.

MOVEMENT

Raise your upper body off the floor and push the handle forward between your knees. Return to the starting position. Repeat.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. Keep your head straight as you raise your upper body off the floor. If you find that your are moving your head up and down during the exercise, tuck your chin into your chest.
