START

FINISH

FINGERS ONLY

can be worked with one hand - one or two fingers

Connect a resistance band around a secure object, with yourself seated holding both handles in each hand (tips of your fingers), resting your elbows on your knees with your palms on your forehead.

Smoothly pull the resistance band, bringing your fingers down to touch your head, holding it there for a count of 3 - 5 seconds prior to relaxing back to a rabbit ear position, then repeat again.

Its important to maintain tension within the resistance band throughout the exercise, so make sure you position yourself correctly (sit further away from fixed resistance point if not enough resistance.

You can work this exercise with 1 - 2 or all fingers at the same time, however keep the palms fixed to your head to help isolate the finger and forearm muscles.
