Exercise of the Day!


Lat Pull-Down
Fitness Focus: Back, Chest, Shoulders.

1. Tie the band around a sturdy object just above shoulder height, wrapping one end around each hand.
2. Sit on a stability ball, abs tight and knees bent 90 degrees. Extend arms toward band, elbows straight, and maintain tension in the band at all times.
3. Slowly pull elbows back toward body until hands are even with chest; hold for 3 counts, then slowly return to starting position, maintaining some tension with the band.
4. Keep wrists straight at all times, performing 3 sets of 15 reps.

Note: If you don't have a ball, stand with feet staggered.
