Instructions

- A sturdy chair

Positioning:
1. Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart.
2. Hold the ends of the resistance band in both hands.
3. Place the middle of the resistance band under your feet for stability.

Movement Instructions:
1. Lean forward slightly from your hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged. Your torso should be at about a 45-degree angle to the floor.
2. With your palms facing each other, extend your arms straight down toward the floor, allowing a slight bend in your elbows.
3. As you exhale, pull the resistance band upwards and out to the sides in a wide arc, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Keep your elbows slightly bent during the exercise and focus on using your back muscles to perform the movement, rather than your arms.
5. Inhale as you lower your hands back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 10-15.

Tips:
- Maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
- Avoid rounding your back or shrugging your shoulders.
- Start with a lighter resistance band to ensure proper form and technique.
