Resistance Band Punch

Punches against bands anchored behind at shoulder height, one arm at a time, from a split stance; the bands pull hardest at full reach.

How to do it

Setup

Back to an anchor at shoulder height, split stance, a band end wrapped in each fist at the chest.

Steps

Punch one fist straight forward against the band.
Return it to the chest under control as the other fist punches out.
Keep the chest facing forward through every punch.

Common mistakes

Band snapping the fist back: control every return. Stance too short for the pull: lengthen it until you stay put. Elbow flaring out on the punch: it travels straight behind the fist.

Breathing

Exhale with each punch.
