How to Do Resistance Band Tricep Overhead Extensions
- Begin the movement by stepping on to a resistance band with your feet at shoulder-width, toes pointed slightly out.

- Slowly lower your hands behind your head using only the forearms. The upper arms will stay in place with the elbow pointed up.
