2. While facing away from the post, grab the handles on both ends of the band and step forward enough to create tension on the band. for best results.
3. Raise your arms to the sides, parallel to the floor, perpendicular to your torso (your torso and the arms should resemble the letter "T") and with the palms facing forward. Have them extended with a slight bend at the elbows. This will be your starting position. for best results.

5. Slowly return to the starting position as you inhale. for best results.
