This is a pretty common triceps exercise. I would bet that you have seen it even if you have not done it. It is often done with a dumbbell but for my Ten Minute Workout I opted for a resistance band on the BOSU. Since this workout is a timed ten minutes, it is best to set it up before you begin the ten minutes. As you can see in my picture in my Terre’s Ten Ten in Ten I have it all set up before hand. The resistance band is on the flat side on the BOSU. For this triceps kick back you stand on the band on the flat side of the BOSU. Your stance is hip width apart or whatever is comfortable to allow you to balance on the BOSU. Hold one end of the band in each hand. Crouch down a little: you are bent over a little bit – knees bent and back straight. Upper arms and elbows pull back behind your ribs. Cricket style. 🙂 (Your arms would be the cricket legs.) Then pull the band straightening your arms. Only the elbow joint moves. Everything else is stable and still.
You’ve done those before, huh? They are pretty common. We are just doing it a little different because of the BOSU and the band. So how was that? What questions come up when you do this exercise?
