If you have exercise tubing around your house, here are a few additional exercises you can do along with those referenced previously.

Rowing:  Attach tubing at chest height. Sit on the edge of a stationary chair. Grab either end of the band and pull your arms backwards, bending at the elbow and keeping your arms at chest height. The palms of your hands should be facing each other. Pinch your shoulder blades back until your palms are level with your ribs.

Straight Arm Lifts:  Attach tubing near the ground, under something that won’t move. Keeping your elbows straight, with one side of the band in each hand pull the tubing above the height of your head until you can’t pull it any higher. If you don’t have enough core to do both hands at a time, use only one hand and then repeat on the other side. Remember, your elbow should stay straight the entire time.

Straight Arm Pull Downs (Cross Country Ski):  Attach the handle or mid-point at about head height.  Grabbing the handles (or ends) and keeping elbows straight, alternate pulling one arm down beside your wheel and allowing the other to come up to starting position. This should be a high intensity exercise maintained at a fast pace. While one hand is moving down the other should be moving up.
