How to do it
Set your feet shoulder-width apart and press them into the floor.
- 1
Secure the straps and grab them with an overhand grip, arms fully extended.
- 2
Lean back with your feet flat on the floor, so your body is at an angle.
- 3
Pull your chest towards the straps by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- 4
Lower yourself back to the starting position with control.
Expert tip
Keep your body in a straight line and avoid sagging your hips. Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms, to fully engage the targeted muscle groups.
