Instructions

1. Begin by lying on your back beneath a secured suspension trainer. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, about hip-width apart. Grab the handles with each hand.

2. Start with your arms extended above you, holding on to the suspension trainer with palms facing each other.

3. Keeping your arms straight, pull the handles apart as you squeeze your shoulder blades together, performing a reverse fly motion. Your hands should end up wider than shoulder-width apart, activating the muscles in your upper back.

4. Slowly return to the starting position with control, bringing the handles together again above your chest.

5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps and sets, while maintaining a controlled tempo and steady breathing throughout the exercise.

Make sure to maintain a stable core, a neutral spine, and avoid using momentum to perform the opening motion. It's essential to engage the targeted muscles throughout the exercise for maximum effectiveness. Adjust the difficulty by repositioning yourself relative to the suspension trainer—if it's too hard, move your body away from the anchor point; if it's too easy, move closer.
