Resisted triceps extension
- Tie a knot in the middle of an exercise band. To hold the band in place, put the band over the top of a door, and then shut the door on the band. The knot should be on the other side of the door.
- Stand so that you face the place where you secured the band. Hold one end of the band in each hand, with your hands at shoulder level.
- Keep your elbows tucked in at your sides.
- Slowly pull the bands down so your arms are straight at your sides. Make sure you keep your elbows close to your body as you pull down.
- Slowly return to your starting position.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
