How to perform

Secure a resistance band above head height. Stand facing the anchor, feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the band ends with arms extended overhead. Engage core, slightly bend knees. Pull the band down, elbows towards knees, contracting abs. Pause briefly at the bottom. Slowly return to start, maintaining tension. Repeat.

Tips

Securely anchor the band. Engage your core throughout. Focus on abdominal contraction, not arm pulling. Maintain a slight knee bend for stability. Control the movement throughout the exercise. Start with lighter resistance if needed.
