Exercise Instructions:

Kneel on the floor, left knee down and right foot back.
Upright torso facing same direction as right foot.
Secure resistance band around wrists in an “X” shape above head.
Inhale deeply, elevate shoulders to ears while keeping arms tight and band extended.
Exhale, lower shoulders back down and relax tension in band.
Repeat for prescribed reps or until fatigue sets in; vary tension by adjusting length or swapping out for heavier one but maintain control of movements throughout.
Inhale deeply, gently shrug body into each rep with upright torso/neck to avoid strain on neck/spine.
Release tension when done then switch legs to perform exercise with right knee planted; intersperse rest periods between sets for safe completion of more reps when resumed.

Plant your left knee, rise up like a warrior and grip the resistance band around your wrists to form an ‘X’ above your head.
Inhale and raise shoulders against the tension, like a lion ready to pounce.
Exhale slowly and let go of the tension, releasing it like a bowstring.
Repeat until strength ebbs or for prescribed reps; vary tensions by increasing length or swapping out for more resilient one – but stay in control of movements!
Inhale deeply as you flow into each rep with neck and torso upright like a hawk surveying its domain.
When done, release tension on band then switch legs before continuing with right knee planted; take breathers between sets so you can return feeling strong & refreshed!
