Band Kickbacks

 

Whilst standing, lean over as far as possible, ideally to a position that enables your body to be parallel to the floor, with the resistance band centrally placed under both feet, which should be close together.

START
FINISH
keep your upper arms parallel to the floor - elbows tucked into your sides avoid leaning forward as you straighten your arms

Holding the handles in both arms, commence the movement with your upper arms horizontal to the floor, whilst your lower arms remain vertical, aiming to bend your arms to a 90-degree angle.

Smoothly extend the arms back, in order to straighten the arms, focusing on keeping your upper arms horizontal whilst keeping your elbows tucked into your sides.

Avoid lowering your trunk during the extension phase of the kick back, keep your abdominal taut to help isolate the tricep muscles.

Aim to hold in outer position for 1 - 2 seconds prior to returning slowly back to your starting position, repeating again for desired amount of reps.
