About Pull the Bow Left

Pull the Bow Left shifts weight left while one arm draws back from shoulder height. The opposite arm helps create the bow-like shape. The return to center is part of the movement.

What to focus on

Move the weight gradually before deepening the arm pull.
Keep space between the shoulders and ears.

Make the movement smaller

Use a higher stance and a shorter pull, keeping the elbows lower if needed.

A mistake to watch for

Pulling the elbow far behind the body and forcing the shoulder. Shorten the draw.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Pull the Bow Left. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
