This exercise not only helps to increase strength, but it also works on your range of motion more so than using a pair of dumbbells would, Dimitris Triantafillopoulos, master personal trainer and manager of CRUNCH Fitness in New York City, told POPSUGAR. You can also start with a standard resistance band triceps press before trying this one.
- Stand with one foot slightly in front of the other and place the center of the band under the back foot.
- Bring handles together straight up above the top of your head.
- Slowly lower handles behind the back of your head until elbows are bent 90 degrees, keeping elbows close to the side of your head. Press hands back up overhead slowly.
- Perform eight to 10 reps for one complete circuit. Do the circuit three to four times.
