Starting Position
Grab each handle and place feet on band, hip-width apart. Stand tall with back straight, abs engaged, arms at your sides, palms facing each other. Bend knees slightly and with a straight back, bend forward slightly from the hips.
Action
EXHALE: Keeping arms straight and close to the sides of your body, lift your hands up towards the ceiling behind you.
INHALE: Slowly lower arms back down to start position to complete one rep.
Special Instructions
Do not arch or round the back. Keep the abs engaged to protect your lower back. Keep wrists straight and in line with the forearms. Make it easier: Bring legs together (closer to center of band) for less resistance. Make it harder: Open legs wider (closer to handles) for more resistance. Muscles Worked: Triceps
