The incline chest press with the fitness band is a chest exercise that is similar to the incline bench press. It trains more of the upper part of the chest muscles. All you need for this exercise is a long Theraband and you can do it at home or in the gym.

Tutorial
1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lunge forward. Clamp a long Theraband between your back foot and the floor. Grasp the ends of the band with your hands.
2
Bring your arms into the starting position by positioning your hands at the side of your chest with your elbows pointing backwards.
3
Push the band forcefully upwards/forwards at an angle until your arms are almost fully extended. Your arms should form a 120° angle to your upper body. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
4
Slowly lower the band in a controlled manner until you are back in the starting position. Breathe in as you do so.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Engage your core muscles and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Fix your shoulders by pushing them back and then down. Use the full range of motion by going all the way back until your hand is close to your chest. Keep your wrist straight so that it is in line with your forearm.
Make sure you choose the right band for you (resistance, length).
Note: You can use the grip width to adjust the resistance of the band. If you make the band shorter, the resistance will be higher and the exercise will be harder. Long bands can also be folded in the middle to halve their length and increase the resistance.
