Scapular extension exercise

Start by holding the tubing with some tension when the arms are fully extended. Pull shoulder blades back together; imagine that you are pinching a pencil between your shoulder blades. Pull to a 2 count, and then slowly return to the starting position on a 4 count. Perform 25 repetitions to complete one set, rest 30 seconds, and repeat the set. Be sure to pull with your shoulder blades; your arms should follow the shoulder blade movement. Elbows remain straight throughout the exercise.
