Begin lying on your back with knees bent, holding a resistance band with both hands above your chest.
Return to the starting position with arms above your chest, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Keep arms straight, control the movement, engage core, maintain form
Bending arms, using momentum, not engaging core, poor shoulder mobility
Increase band resistance, add pause at bottom, perform standing variation, or use different grips.
Use lighter band, perform seated, or practice basic shoulder mobility first.
Maintain proper form to avoid shoulder strain. Stop if you experience pain in the shoulders, chest, or lower back. Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
