Topic description

While standing, fasten the elastic band at head height. The exercise takes place in a kneeling position (chest facing the wall). Hold the elastic band with both hands in an overhand grip with your arms stretched out (arms parallel to the floor). Lower your upper body towards the floor with your back straight, keeping your arms straight (back, head and arms practically form a line in this end position) so that the elastic band is stretched/tensioned. Move your arms up and down with small rocking movements.
