Upright Row with Band

How to Do It

In split-stance, stand on the middle of the resistance band while holding handles in each hand.  Begin with arms down, palms facing the thighs and, of course, abs in.  Slowly bend arms, bringing the elbows up to shoulder-level and palms to the chest.  Squeeze the shoulders and upper back and then lower back to starting position.  Repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, switching legs with each set.  

This exercise works the shoulders, upper back and arms.
