Good Morning to Banded Pulldown Begin in a standing position with your feet at or a little farther than hip-width apart. Hold your hands above your head, stretching a mini band between them. The band should be stretched taut, so that there is no slack and you feel a bit of resistance. Hinge (bend) forward at the waist, keeping your arms extended above your head. Pull your core into your spine and keep your chest lifted as you bend. Engage your core and glutes to return to standing. Bend your elbows down toward your ribs, stretching the mini band even more and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause with the mini band stretched straight across your chest, then lift it back up above your head. Loosen the band a bit, bringing the ends closer together as you return to the starting position. This counts as one rep. Complete for 10 to 12 reps. Image Source: Jennifer Nagel
