Band Pull Apart
About
Band pull-aparts strengthen your upper back and rear shoulders, helping you improve your posture.
How to Band Pull Apart
Starting Position
1. Hold the resistance band with both hands at shoulder width.
2. Extend your arms forward, keeping the band at chest height, and maintain a slight bend in your elbows.
3. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your body straight.
Proper Form
1. Pull the band towards your chest while spreading your arms to the sides.
2. Contract your upper back as if you are bringing your 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.
Breathing Technique
Exhale as you pull the band towards your chest, and inhale as you return to the starting position.
Precautions
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 move too quickly; move slowly and with control.
3. Choose a band strength that feels challenging but not overwhelming.
