Resistance Band Standing Straight Arms Pulldown
- Anchor point (like a door anchor or sturdy pole)
Positioning:
1. Attach the Resistance Band: Secure the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at about shoulder height.
2. Stand Firm: Stand facing the anchor point, feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grab the Band: With both hands, grab the resistance band with a neutral grip (palms facing down). Your arms should be extended straight in front of you at shoulder height.
Movement:
1. Engage Your Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to maintain stability.
2. Pull Down: Slowly pull the band down towards your thighs while keeping your arms straight. Your shoulder blades should retract as you pull down.
3. Controlled Return: Ease the band back to the starting position, keeping tension in the band.
4. Repeat: Perform 10-15 repetitions, focusing on a smooth and controlled movement.
Tips:
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid hunching.
- Ensure your arms stay straight throughout the movement.
- Adjust the resistance band tension by stepping closer to or further from the anchor point.
