1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. 2. Place the center of the resistance band around the soles of your feet, holding the ends of the band in each hand. 3. Sit up straight, keeping your back and neck in a neutral position. This is your starting position. 4. Pull the band towards your waist, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together. 5. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your upper back muscles. 6. Slowly release the band back to the starting position. 7. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back. Also, ensure that the movement is controlled, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the band's pull.
