Technique Tips
- Breathe out as you extend your arms upwards and breathe in as you return to the start position.
- Perform the exercise slowly. Aim for 4-6 seconds per repetition.
- To change the difficulty of the exercise, use a weaker or stronger resistance band.
Exercise Prescription
1-3 sets of up to 15 repetitions. Note that if you can do more than 15 repetitions of a particular exercise, you should increase the difficulty of that exercise. If you are performing multiple sets, you may do 2-3 sets of the one exercise before moving on to the next exercise or cycle through your whole program 2-3 times.
Up to 60 seconds rest between sets. The duration of rest will be dependent upon the intensity of the exercise for you.
