This upper body tubing exercise is called the upper back pull back. So we're really going to work on that posture. Pull those shoulders back and grow an extra inch by strengthening the upper back muscles. Grab your tubing and it should be about light to medium resistance. Grab the handles and then flip your hands over and grab a little bit of the tubing with it. Extend your arms straight out in front of you. Keep your elbows soft but straight. And then all you are going to do is just pull your arms out to the sides, pulling the tubing right towards your chest. And then release that. Exhale as you pull back, inhale as you release. Think about pulling and squeezing those shoulder blades together and then release them. So your arms are just following suit, so it's your upper back that's doing all the work. And again really creating great posture here and then release that. So continue to perform that exercise until you fatigue those upper back muscles. And that is the upper back pull back.
