Starting Position:
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees
soft, posture erect and abdominals tight.
Grasp the stretch band so hands are slightly
wider than shoulder width apart. With your
palms facing the each other, bend your
elbows and lift your arms to chest height.
Action: Under control, pull the
tubing/band back while focusing on bringing
your shoulder blades together. You should
stop just before your elbow joints are
straight. Under control, reverse the motion
back to starting position and repeat.
Remember: Keep your
lower body stationary, keep shoulders down &
maintain good posture throughout the
exercise.
* If you
feel any discomfort in your shoulders stop
immediately.
