Place your feet either firmly on
the floor, as you should aim to avoid any movement from your waist.
Smoothly pull the resistance handles up towards your neck, taking the handles
out to your sides in the final phase of the movement.
Hold in the final phase for 1 – 2 seconds, keeping your abdominal and
lower back muscles contracted to help fix your position.
Return the band to your starting position, prior to repeating again, focusing
on keeping your back straight with no forward / rearward movement during the
exercise.
Keeping tension on the band throughout the movement will enable the back muscles
to stay contracted throughout, increasing the benefits of this exercise.
