Instructions

1. Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a resistance band with both hands. Step on the center of the band to secure it under your feet.

2. With your palms facing forward and elbows bent, position the band behind your neck, ensuring there's tension on the band even in the starting position.

3. Press your hands straight up, extending your arms overhead. Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the motion to maintain stability.

4. Continue pressing upward until your arms are fully extended, but without locking out your elbows. Pause at the top of the motion.

5. Slowly lower your hands back down to the starting position behind your neck, keeping the movement controlled to maintain constant tension on the band.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, taking care to maintain proper posture and form throughout the set.

7. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed by changing its length or using bands with different tension levels.
