  1. Anchor your elastic tubing or band in the top of a closed door. Take one end in each hand.
  2. Either sit or stand, depending on what is more comfortable. If you feel unsteady, sit on a chair.
  3. Start with your arms up and comfortably apart, elbows straight. There should be a slight tension in the tubing or band.
  4. Slightly tuck your chin, and look straight ahead.
  5. Keeping your back straight, slowly pull down and back, bending your elbows.
  6. Stop where your hands are level with your chin, in a "goalpost" position.
  7. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
