Pull-down
Pull-down
- Tie a knot in the middle of an exercise band. Put the band over the top of a door so that the knot is on the other side of the door. Then shut the door to keep the band in place.
- Stand or sit so that you face the place where you have secured the band.
- Hold one end of the band in each hand. Your hands should be at about forehead level, with your arms stretched out in front of you. Hold your hands a little farther apart than the width of your shoulders.
- Slowly pull the bands down to chest level so that your elbows are bent and your hands are at chest level.
- Slowly return to your starting position.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
