How to Do:
Set Up: Stand on the middle of a resistance band with your feet hip-width apart. Hold one handle in each hand with your arms by your sides, palms facing inward.
Starting Position: Hinge slightly forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged. Maintain a slight bend in your knees.
Movement: Pull your arms straight back, keeping them close to your body, as if mimicking a skiing motion. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement.
Return to Start: Slowly return your arms to the starting position while maintaining control of the band.
Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining proper posture and engaging your lats and shoulders.
Benefits:
The Skier exercise with a resistance band targets the lats, rear deltoids, and triceps. It improves upper body strength, posture, and shoulder stability. The dynamic pulling motion also engages the core and mimics movements used in skiing, making it functional for athletes or general fitness enthusiasts. Using a band ensures consistent tension throughout the range of motion.
