Stand up straight holding a resistance band in both hands.
Relax your arms by your side, your gaze directly ahead and your shoulder blades relaxed.
With your elbows completely straight and your palms facing forwards, pull the band backwards, generating the movement from between your shoulder blades.
Hold this position, then control the movement as you return to the starting position and repeat.
