Stool Towel Seated Jack

Seated Jack with a Towel on a Padded Stool

• A towel (or a bar if preferred)

1. Starting Position:

• Sit on the padded stool with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.

• Hold the towel firmly in both hands. If using a bar, grip it with both hands at shoulder width.

• Keep your spine straight and your chest up.

2. Set Your Body:

   • Lean slightly forward with your torso while maintaining a straight back.

   • Ensure your shoulders are back and down, not hunched.

3. Movement:

   • Towel Position: Extend your arms straight in front of you, keeping the towel taut.

   • Push Forward: While maintaining the position of your arms, push against the towel as if you’re trying to stretch it further apart.

   • Hold the Position: Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your arms, shoulders, and core.

   • Return: Slowly bring your arms back to the starting position in front of you.

4. Repeat:

   • Perform this movement for 10-15 repetitions.

   • Focus on controlled movements, keeping your core engaged throughout.

5. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you extend your arms forward.

   • Exhale as you return to the starting position.

Tips:

• Start with a light towel to get accustomed to the movement.

• Ensure your movements are slow and controlled to maximize effectiveness and minimize the risk of injury.

• Adjust the tension on the towel based on your strength level; you can increase the resistance by gripping it closer together.
