Instructions
Starting Position: Attach the resistance band to a stable anchor point at an above-head height, or use a cable machine with a suitable attachment. Grasp the handles of the band with an overhand grip, or position your hands to grip the band directly, palms facing down.
How to Perform: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, a slight bend in your knees for stability, and lean slightly forward from your hips. Extend your arms straight out to your sides at shoulder level, with a slight bend at the elbows.
Execution of Movement: Begin by bringing your hands forward and together in an arc motion until they meet in front of you, at or just above head level. Keep your arms elevated and parallel to the floor throughout the movement.
Muscle Engagement: Squeeze your chest and shoulder muscles as your hands come together.
Returning and Repetition: Slowly return your arms back to the start position, maintaining tension on the bands, while controlling the movement throughout. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Cautions: Make sure to perform the exercise with control, avoiding any jerky motions or using momentum. Adjust the resistance of the band to suit your strength level and fitness goals.
