The Standing Row

Step 1: Anchor the band by tying it at the center point to a doorknob or column/banister at chest height. If you have a tube with handles, anchor it at the middle so that you can use both handles.

Step 2: Stand facing the resistance band, one foot slightly forward, knees slightly bent and arms reaching forward, gripping the ends of the band.

Step 3: Draw both elbows back close to your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you pull. Be sure to keep your neck and shoulders relaxed. If they tense up as you pull, try using a lighter band. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat 10 times. Do three to five sets.
