Instructions

  1. Setup:

    • Find a sturdy anchor point to attach the suspension trainer.

    • Adjust the straps to a height where they are around waist level when you stand in front of them.

  2. Starting Position:

    • Stand facing the anchor point with the suspension trainer handles in each hand.

    • Grab the handles with an overhand grip (palms facing down).

    • Step back to create tension in the straps, keeping your arms straight in front of you.

    • Lean back slightly, keeping your body straight from head to heels. Your feet should be hip-width apart.

  3. Movement:

    • Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades back and down.

    • Bend your elbows and pull your body towards the handles, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you pull.

    • Continue pulling until your hands reach your chest or slightly below.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, keeping the tension in the straps.

    • Maintain control as you lower yourself back down.

  5. Repetition:

    • Aim for 8-12 repetitions, ensuring proper form throughout.

    • Rest for a brief moment and repeat for 2-3 sets.

Tips:

  • Keep your body straight throughout the movement to prevent your back from sagging.

  • Adjust the angle of your body to make the exercise easier or harder; leaning back more increases the difficulty.

  • Focus on your breathing; inhale as you pull and exhale as you return to the starting position.
