Instructions:

  • 1Stand on the middle of the resistance band and grasp the ends in each hand.
  • 2Bend over, maintaining a straight back, with your torso almost parallel to the floor.
  • 3Pull both ends of the band towards your torso, while keeping your elbows close to your body.
  • 4Hold the peak position for a second, contracting your back muscles.
  • 5Slowly return to the starting position.

Tips:

  • Keep your neck neutral and aligned with your spine throughout the exercise.
  • Avoid using your lower back to pull; the movement should come primarily from the arms and back.
  • Make sure to squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
  • For more resistance, use a heavier band or stand with your feet further apart.
