High Cross Over's

This exercise can be performed with either one or both arms, with your palms facing downwards - forwards or upwards to help work the different muscles of both the chest and shoulders.

START	FINISH

Connect the central part of the band around a secure object, ideally at shoulder height. You will need to stand with back towards the connection, commencing the movement with your arms out to your sides.

The further you stand away from your connection point, the harder the exercise is going to be, however you should aim to stand in a position whereby you have tension on the band throughout the movement, whilst still being able to bring your arms in straight in front of you.

Aim to keep your arms straight - or with a slight bend at the elbow throughout the movement, smoothly bring your hands to a position directly in front of you.

You may wish to work both arm together (harder), or a single alternate arm technique.
