Standing Chest Press

Using the anchor place it at about shoulder height on a door and safely secure the anchor by closing the door.

Select the desired resistance level by choosing the appropriate coloured TUG(s), put these through the loop of the anchor and attach 2 handles.

Stand with the door to your back and the TUG(s) pulled slightly so that there is no slack.

Exercise:

Place one foot in front of the other for balance. Start with your elbows by your sides and hands in front of your chest. Push your elbows up by your shoulders and your hands forward and together until your arms are almost straight. Pause briefly and Repeat

Variations:

This exercise can also be performed while sitting on a stability ball or a chair. You may also move the anchor down to alter the angle of the resistance.
