Keep your arms straight and your wrists firm, then pull the band apart by squeezing your shoulder blades together and extending your arms out to the sides.
Ensure your back is straight, your core is engaged, and your chest is slightly pushed forward throughout the movement.
Hold the position for a few seconds, feeling the tension in your shoulders and upper back.
Slowly return your arms to the starting position, controlling the release of the band, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps.
Pro Tip
Correct Positioning: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Hold the band with both hands, arms extended in front of you at chest height. Your palms should be facing each other. Make sure your back is straight and your core is engaged. Controlled Movement: As you pull the band apart, move your arms back in a controlled manner, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Ensure you're not using momentum to perform the movement, as this can lead to injury and won't effectively work the targeted muscles. Avoid Overextending: Don't pull the band back too far. This can place unnecessary strain on your shoulders and back. Instead, stop when your arms are extended to the sides and in line
