Standing Band Pull Apart
Welcome to your Workout of the Week, March 25th! This month we are highlighting Ophthalmology, Point West. This month’s workout will focus on resistance band exercise to build and tone your muscles!
Kasey Siters, Vision Services Assistant II, will demonstrate these exercises. She has over 18 years of experience in Ophthalmology and she loves to exercise. She walks 6-9 miles each day, lifts weights, and performs reformer Pilates at home and mobility exercises. Because she has had multiple joint surgeries, exercise is therefore a non-negotiable to keep herself healthy and in-motion. The eye services department typically promotes good health with walking, yoga, and sharing exercise methods as well as different stretches. Many of the employees also walk together on their lunch breaks.
Exercise: Standing Band Pull Apart
How to perform: Hold the resistance band shoulder width apart. Exhale, pull the band apart while keeping your elbows straight and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Inhale, return the band back to start.
Duration: Repeat for 10 repetitions.
