2. Attach each end of the band(s) to a closed ankle strap and place your hands through the straps (so that they are resting on the top of your wrists.)

3. Body Positioning: Stand 3 to 4 feet away from the door while facing the door.

4. Keep your feet hips width apart, chest up and head straight.

5. Position your arms straight out in front of you (parallel with the floor), and your palms down.

6. Pull your elbows back until your they are even with your shoulders.

7. Return to the starting position (controlling the resistance).

8. Repeat.
