How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Description: Hold the elastic band with your hand, keep your arm close to your body, and bend your elbow at 90 degrees. Slowly extend your elbow by pulling the band until your forearm is aligned with your upper arm, then gently return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep the arm immobile against the body to isolate elbow extension. Control the movement well to avoid jerks.

Progression: Increase the resistance of the band or the number of repetitions when the exercise becomes easy.
