Form tips
When gripping the resistance band, make sure your hands are shoulder-width apart. The band should be held with palms facing each other. This grip will engage your back muscles more effectively.
Avoid jerky or fast movements which can lead to injury. Instead, pull the band towards your waist in a slow, controlled movement. Ensure that your elbows are close to your body and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
To get the most out of the exercise, use a full range of motion. This means extending your arms fully in the downward phase and pulling the band up
