Worlds From Buttocks

Stand with your feet close together or shoulder width apart (harder), holding the band handles in each hand, with your hands behind your back, close to your buttocks, having your arms straight.

START	MIDDLE	FINISH

Smoothly lift the handles up from your buttocks, to directly above your head, whilst aiming on keeping your arms straight, head up to avoid straining your neck.

Focus on keeping the upper body fixed by keeping your abdominal muscles contracted throughout the movement to avoid leaning forward or back during the lifting or lowering phase, you may decide to adapt a staggered foot position, having the band under your rear foot.

Variations of this method are to start with the band just above your thighs, or from your sides, using one or two hands. You may also decide to adjust your wrist position so that palms are facing inwards – behind or forwards.
