Bent Over Front Back Punch Instructions
1. Grab a set of dumbbells, bend your torso until your chest is nearly parallel to the floor, and bring the dumbbells close to your rib cage with the palms facing your torso.
2. Punch to the front with your right arm while rotating your palm to the floor, and push your left arm back in a punching motion, rotating your left palm to the ceiling.
3. Return to the starting position, reverse arms and repeat.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Maintain your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and keep your spine neutral with your head, neck, and back in line and relaxed. Distribute your weight equally between both feet, breathe out as you punch, and keep your torso static and your core engaged.
