Exercise Instructions:
Attach a resistance band to a sturdy fixture or pole at about hip height.
Grip the band with one hand and step back to create tension in the band.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and lean back, allowing the band to pull your arm forward.
Keep your arm straight and hinge at your hips, leaning your torso forward to deepen the stretch.
Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, feeling a stretch along the side of your torso and through your lat muscles.
Slowly return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Key Tips:
Keep your core engaged to maintain balance and proper form.
Ensure your arm remains straight to maximize the stretch in your lats.
Avoid rounding your back; focus on hinging at your hips.
Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch to maximize flexibility.
