FitCiStep-by-step
- Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and your knees slightly bent.
- Loop the middle of the band around the soles of your feet and grip the ends with both hands; the band should be taut at the start.
- Keep your back upright and your chest open.
- Pull your hands toward your abdomen, passing your elbows close to your body.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades for 1 second at the end, then slowly extend your arms while resisting the band.
Coaching tip
At the end of the pull, squeeze your shoulder blades together; let your elbows brush past your torso.
