How to Do
How to Do Rotational Band Press With Single Arm
The rotational band press with a single arm should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the rotational band press with a single arm.

Swivel the right leg away from the machine while straightening the right arm and gripping the handle with the palm down.

1. You will start with your body facing away from the tubing, but twisting at the hips so you can face the tubing.
2. You will be holding the tubing so that your elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle and your palm is facing away from the tubing.
3. Keep your arm up to the side of your face and your other arm resting at the side of your body.
4. In this position, you are going to untwist and rotate forward as if you are punching with your hand that is holding the tubing.
5. Untwist slowly so that you are at the starting position and repeat for repetitions.
6. Once you are done with repetitions, switch arms.

Without doing push-ups, the Resistance Band Chest Press is an excellent way to strengthen your chest and arms. This workout works the biceps, triceps, chest, and even the front of the shoulder by using the resistance of the band to work against the pushing motion.
