Coach's Tips

Band pull-aparts strengthen your upper back and rear shoulders, helping you improve your posture.

1. Hold the resistance band with both hands at shoulder width.

2. Extend your arms forward, placing the band at chest height, and keep your elbows slightly bent.

3. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your body straight.

1. Pull the band towards your chest while spreading your arms to the sides.

2. Contract the upper back as if bringing the shoulder blades together.

3. Pause for a moment in the fully spread position, then slowly return to the starting position.

4. Make sure your elbows do not go excessively behind your body.

Exhale as you pull the band towards your chest, and inhale as you return to the starting position.

1. Pull your chin in and lower your shoulders to avoid excessive tension in your shoulders or neck.

2. Do not bend your elbows too much or perform the movements too quickly; move slowly and with control.

3. Choose a band strength that feels stimulating but is not too strenuous.
