Move arms to the side in opposite directions while standing ► pull apart

Individual work

Stand upright, shoulder-width apart, arms outstretched at shoulder height in front of you, arms stretched horizontally forwards (front hold), hands holding the elastic band shoulder-width apart in front of your body, arms open/spread out to the sides (T-position of the body; shoulder blades together) and return to the starting position.

Attention:
Do not arch your back (tighten your stomach).

Lighten:
Select an elasticated band with less resistance.

Harden:
Select a rubber band with greater resistance.

Variant I:
Raise your arms sideways upwards (above your shoulders) or downwards (below your shoulders).
Variant II:
Alternately fix one arm in front and move the other arm to the side and back to the starting position (alternatively in an arching movement).
