Arms – Overhead Outward Push with Short Resistance Band

Bands:

Place the band around your wrists.

Body Positioning:

Stand up with a slight bend in your knees. Activate your core.

Movement:

Bring both hands over your head, straighten your arms and pull your wrists out until you feel a stretch in the band. Now bring your hands down by squeezing your shoulder blades together and by pulling your elbows into a 90 degree angle at shoulder  height. Slowly return to starting position. Repeat for 10 – 15 times.

Points to remember:

Try to pull through your upper and middle back and avoid arching your back. Also, try to keep your knees bent during the entire exercise.

Rule:

If you are able to do more than 10-15 reps, change to a heavier band.
