Instructions
Seated Jack with a Towel on a Padded Stool
A towel (or a bar if preferred)
1. Starting Position:
Sit on the padded stool with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
Hold the towel firmly in both hands. If using a bar, grip it with both hands at shoulder width.
Keep your spine straight and your chest up.
Set Your Body:
Lean slightly forward with your torso while maintaining a straight back.
Ensure your shoulders are back and down, not hunched.
Movement:
Towel Position: Extend your arms straight in front of you, keeping the towel taut.
Push Forward: While maintaining the position of your arms, push against the towel as if you’re trying to stretch it further apart.
Hold the Position: Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your arms, shoulders, and core.
Return: Slowly bring your arms back to the starting position in front of you.
Repeat:
Perform this movement for 10-15 repetitions.
Focus on controlled movements, keeping your core engaged throughout.
Breathing:
Inhale as you extend your arms forward.
Exhale as you return to the starting position.
Tips:
Start with a light towel to get accustomed to the movement.
Ensure your movements are slow and controlled to maximize effectiveness and minimize the risk of injury.
Adjust the tension on the towel based on your strength level; you can increase the resistance by gripping it closer together.
