How to do it

  1. Attach one end of a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at a high height. Stand with your left side facing the anchor point, holding the other end of the band with your right hand.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your right arm straight out to the side parallel to the floor, palm facing down.
  3. Pull the band towards your body, bringing your right hand close to your hip, keeping your arm straight.
  4. Slowly return your right arm to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the left side.

Form tips

  • Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and reduce injury risk.
  • Exhale as you pull the band across your body and inhale as you return to the starting position.
  • Use a resistance band that provides enough tension to challenge your muscles without compromising form.
