Exercise Tubing: Usage & Form Basics

Keep Wrists Straight!
Always keep wrists straight all the way through the movements.
Bending wrists to finish the movement increases carpal tunnel pressure.

Stand Up & Lengthen Spine! (L)            Don't Slump! (R)
Always roll shoulders back & down instead of rounding back with bad posture!
Starting position of rows should be square & upright.

Pull Shoulders Back & Down!
When rowing, pull shoulder blades back & together as you finish.
Make sure to keep "elbows in" close to ribs.

For optimal performance & safety,
I use JC All-Purpose Tubing by PerformBetter.Com.
