How to do it

Secure the band to a stable anchor at chest height and check it for damage. Face away, hold an end in each hand, and step forward into a staggered stance. With elbows slightly below shoulder height, press forward until your arms are nearly straight, then return slowly without letting your elbows travel far behind your torso.
