This exercise is called the Kneeling Overhead Triceps Extension using a Resistance Band.
It targets the triceps brachii muscle. Start out by wrapping a resistance band around
a fixed object that will not move. From a kneeling position, bring your left foot forward
so that your left knee is directly over your left ankle and your left hip is bent to approximately
90 degrees. Grip the handles firmly with both hands behind your head and your elbows bent.
Begin the exercise by pressing the resistance band forward until your elbows are fully extended.
Pause at the top of the movement and squeeze your triceps then slowly bend your elbows
back to the starting position while keeping tension on your triceps. The negative or return
phase of this exercise is just as important as the extension phase.
Movements should be smooth and controlled and avoid holding your breath.
