Jumpstart Your Routine - Upright Row with Exercise Band

Step 1: Start by standing on an exercise band so that there is tension when your arms are extended. Hold the handles a little less than shoulder-distance apart with your palms resting on the top of your thighs, elbows slightly bent, and back straight.

Step 2: Exhale and lift the handles upwards close to your body using your shoulders and continuing until the handles almost touch your chin. Remember you elbows should always be above your forearms and to keep your stomach in throughout the movement.

Step 3: Inhale as you lower the handles back down to the starting position.

Variations: try using an e-z curl bar (intermediate) or dumbbells (advanced).
