The movements with elastic bands are fitness exercises that can combine cardiovascular work with endurance, so it works in a primary but effective way to strengthen the pectorals, biceps, triceps, abdominals and other muscle groups.

Therefore, in GetQoralHealth we present a routine to work and strengthen your pectorals, according to fitnesbliss.com, in which you can exercise in a simple and practical way with elastic bands. For this you should always anchor to a point of resistance, either fixedly or with some object of considerable weight at home:
 

1. Chest press. Secure the elastic band at a high height behind you and hold a handle with your hand near your shoulder, with the palm pointing down. Push the handle straight forward until your arm is extended and parallel to the ground, and allow it to return slowly after a short pause. Keep your feet firmly in place during movement.
 

2. Chest press down. From the previous position, Push the handle forward and down until your arm is extended and hold it at the same height as your navel, and allow it to return slowly after a short pause. Keep your feet firmly in place during movement.
 

3. Breast opening . Secure the elastic band at a medium height to your side and hold a handle with your hand, the arm extended at shoulder height, with the palm pointing forward. Pull the handle inward until it is in front of your chest and allow it to return slowly after a brief pause. Keep your arm extended (or almost) during the movement.
 

4. Jumps with opposition. Open your compass, placing your legs at the same height as your shoulders. Take both handles of the band and at the same time you jump open and close the compass, try to pull the band to both sides, while you make pressure on your pectorals. Return to the starting position and repeat.
 

5. Swim standing. Attached two bands, take both handles from a position where you have slightly open penalties, but with a support foot in front. Take one of the links up, while the other down, both should be held in the opposite direction. Start making jumps where you change the support foot, to the front and delays, at the same time that you imitate the movement with the leagues (swim), alternating both hands. Do not forget to apply pressure on your pectorals in each change.

You can perform this routine to strengthen your pectorals up to four days a week. Start with 2 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise, resting 3 to 5 minutes between movements.
