How to do it
- Hold a band in front of you at shoulder height with straight arms, palms down and hands about shoulder-width apart.
- Pull the band apart by moving your arms out to the sides until it touches your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Let your arms return slowly to the front, keeping tension on the band.
- Keep your arms straight and your shoulders down, without arching your lower back.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
