Arms – Scapular Retraction with Short Resistance Band

Bands:

Place the resistance band in the middle of your forearms.

Body Positioning:

Stand up straight with your arms on shoulder height. Keep you knees slightly bent and activate your core.

Movement:

Pull your arms apart and squeeze your shoulder blades together, keeping the band at shoulder height. Slowly return to starting position. Repeat for 10 – 15 times.

Points to remember:

Try to keep your elbows at shoulder height and avoid arching your back.

Rule:

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