Exercise Description

The banded y exercise builds shoulder stability and strengthens your rear delts. It fixes rounded shoulders and improves your posture fast.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, hold resistance band with both hands in front of your chest 2. Keep arms straight and pull the band apart while raising your arms up and out to form a Y shape 3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the banded y movement 4. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position while maintaining tension in the band 5. Repeat for desired reps, keeping your core tight throughout the entire movement

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the entire banded y movement • Pull the band apart with straight arms - don't bend your elbows • Move slowly and control the band on the way down • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades when doing the banded y exercise

Common Mistakes

• Using too much resistance and compromising form during the banded y exercise • Letting the band snap back too quickly instead of controlling the movement • Hunching your shoulders forward when performing the banded y movement
