Upper Body Exercises with OmniBands

Shoulder Flexion and Abduction

Starting Position: Stand on the OmniBands with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the handles with your arms by your sides.

How to Perform: For shoulder flexion, lift your arms straight in front of you to shoulder height, keeping them extended and parallel to the ground.

For shoulder abduction, lift your arms out to the sides, maintaining a slight bend at the elbows, until they reach shoulder height. Slowly lower them back to the starting position for both movements.

Muscle Groups: Targets your shoulders (deltoids) and upper back.

Why It Works: Shoulder flexion and abduction with the OmniBands help strengthen the shoulder muscles, increasing muscle mass and enhancing shoulder mobility for improved upper body stability.

Standing Rows

Starting Position: Anchor the OmniBands to a door or sturdy object. Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the bands with both hands.

How to Perform: Pull the bands toward you, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Return to the starting position.

Muscle Groups: Targets the upper back, shoulders, and biceps.

Chops

Starting Position: Anchor the OmniBands at a high point and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the band with both hands, arms extended, starting above one shoulder.

How to Perform: Pull the band diagonally down across your body, towards the opposite hip, engaging your core. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

How to Perform: Straighten your leg against the band's resistance by pushing your knees backward into a fully extended position. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat. Switch to the other leg after completing your reps.

Muscle Groups: Targets the quads and strengthens the knee joint.
