How to Do:
Hold a resistance band with both hands, palms facing inward, and your hands shoulder-width apart.
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms extended straight in front of you at shoulder height.
Exhale as you pull the band apart by moving your arms outward, keeping them parallel to the floor.
Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position while inhaling.
Benefits:
The resistance band pull-apart strengthens the upper back, shoulders, and rotator cuff muscles. It enhances posture by targeting the muscles responsible for scapular retraction and stability. This exercise helps reduce the risk of shoulder injuries, improves upper body strength, and promotes better posture.
