Elastics Lawnmower

Video coming soon...

The elastics Lawnmower workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the upper back muscles.

By using elastics, the workout provides resistance to strengthen and tone the upper back effectively.

It involves pulling the elastics towards the body in a motion similar to starting a lawnmower.

While the workout may also engage auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the upper back.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
Hold the elastic band with both hands, palms facing down, and bring it behind your head, resting it on your shoulders.
Grasp the elastic band with a wide grip, keeping your elbows pointed out to the sides.
Engage your core and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
Slowly extend your arms forward, pushing the elastic band away from your body.
Pause briefly when your arms are fully extended in front of you.
Slowly return to the starting position by pulling the elastic band back towards your body, keeping your elbows slightly bent.

Focus on proper posture: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, and engage your core muscles. Keep your shoulders relaxed and your chest open to activate your upper back effectively.
Start with light resistance: Begin with a lighter elastic band to ensure you can maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Gradually increase the resistance as you build strength and confidence.
Initiate the movement from your upper back: Imagine squeezing your shoulder blades together as you pull the elastic towards your chest. This will help you engage the targeted muscles and avoid relying too much on your arms or lower back.
Maintain a controlled and slow tempo: Avoid rushing through the exercise. Focus on a slow and controlled movement, emphasizing the contraction of your upper back muscles as you pull the elastic towards you. This will maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
Visualize your upper back muscles working: Imagine your upper back muscles contracting and becoming stronger with each repetition. Visualizing the desired outcome can help you stay motivated and connected to the muscles you are targeting.
