How to do it

Check the band for damage and secure its middle to a stable anchor at chest height. Face away, hold an end in each hand, and step forward. With a slight, fixed elbow bend, sweep your hands together in front of your chest. Open your arms slowly, stopping before your shoulders are pulled into an excessive stretch.

Form cues

  • Keep a soft bend in your elbows.
  • Bring your hands together at chest height.
