The Band Twisting Overhead Press is a dynamic exercise that targets the shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. It involves two movements: an overhead press and a twisting motion to engage the obliques.
How to perform
Here are the step-by-step instructions for performing the Band Twisting Overhead Press:1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and loop a resistance band underneath both feet.
2. Hold the handles of the resistance band with both hands and bring them up to shoulder height, palms facing forward.
3. Press the bands overhead, straightening your arms fully and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. As you lower the bands back down to shoulder height, twist your torso to one side, engaging your obliques.
5. Return to the starting position and repeat the overhead press, this time twisting your torso to the opposite side.
6. Continue alternating between the overhead press and twisting motion for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and control.
8. Focus on using proper form and controlled movements to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
9. To modify the exercise, you can adjust the resistance of the band or vary the speed of the movements.
10. Remember to breathe consistently and listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
