Instructions
1. Secure the resistance band to a sturdy overhead structure, ensuring it is fixed at a height well above your standing reach.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing perpendicular to the band's anchor point.
3. Reach across your body and grasp the band with a supinated grip (palms facing up) using one hand. Your arm should be fully extended and angled diagonally upward toward the anchor point.
4. Ensure your body is stable and your core is engaged throughout the movement.
5. Pull the band down and across your body toward your hip, keeping your arm straight without bending the elbow.
6. Focus on contracting the latissimus dorsi (the large muscle on the side of your back) as the muscle primarily responsible for the movement.
7. Slowly release the band back to the starting position with control to complete one repetition.
8. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
* Please note that proper form and controlled movement reduce the risk of injury and ensure maximum benefit from the exercise. Adjust the resistance of the band according to your strength and fitness level.
