My Ski Coach!

Difficulty

Medium

Equipment Needed

Resistance Band

Starting Position

Find the appropriately weighted resistance band and hold it in your hands. You should have between 12' and 18' of space between your hands.

Procedure

  1. Secure the band around something sturdy.
  2. Stand and fully extend the arms out in front of the body (palms facing towards each other).
  3.  
  4. Pull the resistance band back towards the torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Slowly bring the arms forward, returning to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the suggested number of repetitions.

Coaching Keys

  • Pretend there is a pencil in the middle of your back and you are trying to squeeze it.

You Should Feel it...
