How to: Resistance Band Standing Down Warming-up
- Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart while holding the resistance band.
- Extend the band overhead and gently lean to one side, feeling the stretch along the side of your torso.
- Hold for a few seconds before returning to the center and leaning to the other side.
- Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling too hard on the band, leading to overstretching.
- Not engaging the core, which can lead to lower back strain.
- Allowing the shoulders to rise towards the ears instead of relaxing them.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band for a gentler stretch.
- Perform the stretch seated if standing is difficult.
Tips
- Maintain a slightly bent knee during the stretch.
- Breathe deeply and evenly to facilitate relaxation while stretching.
- Avoid bouncing movements to prevent muscle strain.
