This exercise is a good alternative to an upright row using barbells or dumbbells. This is also an excellent exercise for beginners and people rehabilitating from injury because the bands allow you to control the resistance level.

Muscle group: Back


Steps

Stand on the band so that the handles are level with your upper thigh.

With your back straight and abs drawn in raise your hands upward to your collarbone.

Your elbows and arms should be parallel with the floor.

Slowly lower your arms and return to starting position.
