Step by step

1. Fix the band over the top of a closed door and stand a step back, an end in each hand.
2. Hinge forward a little with your arms straight up towards the anchor.
3. Keeping your arms long, sweep your hands down to your thighs.
4. Let them rise slowly.

Tip: Feel it under your armpits. A great warm-up for pull-ups too.

Go easy: Use a door anchor on a closed door that opens away from you; keep your elbows soft.
