How to: Resistance Band Assisted Front Rack Stretch
- Stand upright and hold one end of the resistance band in each hand.
- Raise the band overhead while keeping your arms slightly bent.
- Pull the band downwards and back to create a stretch in your shoulders and upper back.
- Hold this position for 15-30 seconds while breathing deeply.
- Repeat as needed for desired flexibility.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling too hard on the band, which may lead to injury.
- Not engaging the core, leading to lower back strain.
- Not holding the stretch long enough.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band for less tension.
- Perform the stretch seated or on a bench for support.
Tips
- Ensure the resistance band is securely anchored.
- Maintain a straight back and avoid hunching your shoulders.
- Breathe deeply and hold the stretch for at least 20 seconds.
