The exercises for the upper back using a Lecardio resistance band are similar to those using any other type of resistance band. Here are a few examples:
-
Rear Delt Flys: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the Lecardio resistance band around your hands. Keeping your arms straight, raise them out to the sides until they are in line with your shoulders, then lower them back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Seated Rows: Sit on the ground with your legs extended and the Lecardio resistance band around your feet. Grasp the band with both hands, and perform a rowing motion, bringing your hands towards your chest. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Pull-Aparts: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the Lecardio resistance band around your hands. Keeping your arms straight, pull the band apart, then return to the starting position. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Scapular Retractions: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the Lecardio resistance band around your hands. Keeping your arms straight, pull the band towards your back, then return to the starting position. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
As with any resistance band exercise, it's important to use proper form, engage your upper back muscles, and breathe deeply. Start with a low resistance Lecardio band and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger. Incorporate these exercises into your workout routine to target your upper back and improve posture.
