STANDING CABLE OR BAND CORE BRACING WITH PRESS   This exercise is a variation of Standing Cable or Band Core Bracing.

  1. Adjust a cable to chest level or attach a band to an anchor at chest level. Stand perpendicular to the cable stack or band anchor point.
  2. Grip the band or cable—one hand clasped around the other—and begin with hands at your sternum and elbows even with your torso. If using a band step to the side enough to keep the band taut (for increased resistance, take another step to the side).
  3. With knees bent, hips back, shoulders back, and feet a little wider than hip distance, engage the core by tightening muscles as if expecting a punch to the gut. Use core muscles to resist any rotation from spine, shoulders, knees, or hips.
  4. Press the band  or cable straight forward, fully extending (but not locking) arms.
  5. With control, return hands to starting position. Perform 8 reps while resisting rotation from spine, shoulders, knees, and hips. Rotate 180 degrees and repeat the other side.
