Instructions

Exercise Setup: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a resistance band with both hands in front of you at chest level. Ensure there's adequate tension on the band; it shouldn't be slack.

Starting Position: Begin with your hands about as wide as your shoulders and your elbows slightly bent.

Execution: Pull the band outwards, similar to the motion of pulling apart a string or a rope, while squeezing your shoulder blades together. Keep your arms parallel to the floor throughout the movement.

Extend your arms outward as much as the tension of the band allows without compromising form; your focus should be on engaging the muscles in your upper back and rear shoulders.

Return: Slowly return to the starting position with control, resisting the band's pull to maximize the exercise's benefits.

Repetitions: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

This exercise primarily targets the muscles in the upper back and shoulders, improving strength and stability in these areas. It's also beneficial for posture correction and shoulder health.
