Band Tricep Kickback

Pro Tip

Hold the band in place for an extra 1 second when your arms are fully extended for added benefit.

How To

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and over the middle of a band while bending forward and maintaining a flat back.
Holding each end of the band with an underhand grip, exhale and extend your arms to straighten them out behind you.
Continue to straighten your arms until they are fully extended while making sure not to keep your upper arms and torso still.
Inhale and allow your arms to bend while keeping your upper arms in place, returning to the starting position.
