# Floor Cable Resistance Band Press

Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

## How to do it

1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Position a resistance band under your upper back, holding a handle in each hand with your palms facing forward.
2. Position your elbows on the floor bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Press the handles straight up towards the ceiling until your arms are fully extended, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Slowly return to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Exhale as you press the handles up and inhale as you return them to the starting position.
- Use a lighter resistance band if needed to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger.
- Focus on engaging your chest muscles throughout the movement.
