Holding the handles in both arms, commence the movement with your upper arms horizontal to the floor, whilst your lower arms remain vertical, aiming to bend your arms to a 90-degree angle.
Smoothly extend the arms back, in order to straighten the arms, focusing on keeping your upper arms horizontal whilst keeping your elbows tucked into your sides.
Avoid lowering your trunk during the extension phase of the kick back, keep your abdominal taut to help isolate the tricep muscles.
Aim to hold in outer position for 1 – 2 seconds prior to returning slowly back to your starting position, repeating again for desired amount of reps.
