How to do it
Set your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the same body angle every rep.
- 1
Attach the suspension straps to a secure anchor above head height.
- 2
Grasp the handles and lean back with your arms extended, forming a 'Y' shape with your body.
- 3
Raise your arms laterally to shoulder height, keeping your body straight.
- 4
Slowly lower back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your core engaged and maintain a slight bend in your elbows to prevent joint strain. Focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift the arms, not momentum.
