  • Resistance band

How to do it

  1. Loop a resistance band around a post at elbow height, stand side-on and hold the band with your far hand.
  2. Keep your elbow pressed to your side, bent at a right angle, with your hand in front of your stomach.
  3. Rotate your forearm outward, keeping your elbow against your side.
  4. Rotate slowly back to your stomach; finish your reps, then switch sides.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Use a light band and tuck a towel under your elbow to keep it in place.
