Technik-Tipps
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, and hold the band with both hands at shoulder level. Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid hunching over or arching your back, as this can lead to strain and injury.
When pulling the band apart, do so in a controlled, slow manner. Avoid snapping or jerking the band apart quickly. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury.
