Exercise Advice: Stand on an exercise band and slowly extend or ‘kick back,’ your hands while keeping your elbows firmly set in place. Extend your arms back and be sure to squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement and hold for a one-count.

Exercise Advice: Using an elastic exercise band, grab a handle in one hand and step on the other end of the band with your foot. Place your hand behind your ear with your elbow in. Extend your hand up while keeping tension on your triceps. Slowly return to the start position and repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Exercise Advice: Place both feet on the exercise band and position the handles behind your head. Keeping your elbows in a fixed position, raise the handles upward over your head until your arms are extended. Lower the handles behind your head in a slow and controlled manner. Try to keep your elbows at the same fixed point throughout the up and down motion and keep you upper arms (from shoulders to elbows) close to your sides at all times.

Exercise Advice: Place one foot on the exercise band and make sure to take up the extra slack on the bands and create tension before beginning the exercise. Maintain a slight bend in your knees and bend over at the waist. Position your arm at about hip level and bend your elbow at 90 degrees. While keeping your elbow into your side, slowly pull the handle back behind you while keeping your elbow in a fixed position throughout the entire range of the movement.

Exercise Advice: Begin by wrapping the exercise band around a sturdy post or something similar. Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart while facing the post. Hold the handles in each hand with your arms extended out in front of your body and thumbs pointed up toward the ceiling. Next, pull or ‘row’ the handles into your stomach area. Slowly return to the start position and repeat for 10-12 repetitions. Be sure to keep your back straight and perpendicular to the floor throughout this entire movement.
