Seated Cross Body Punch on a Chair
Seated on a chair, throw punches across the body, each fist toward the opposite side; a quick seated drill for the chest, shoulders and trunk.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, feet flat, fists up at the chin, elbows in.
Steps
- Punch one fist across the body toward the opposite side.
- Bring the fist straight back to the chin.
- Switch fists with every punch.
Common mistakes
Snapping the elbow straight at the end of the punch: stop just short of it. Twisting off the seat: the turn comes from the trunk. Dropping the other hand: it stays at the chin.
Breathing
Short exhale on every punch.
