How we get this numberStand with feet wide and knees slightly bent
Hold arms at shoulder height
Shift weight right and pull one arm back like a bow
Return to center with control
Pull the Bow Right combines a rightward weight shift with a backward arm draw. Settle the weight into the supporting leg as the hands separate, then return through the center. Keep the front reach and backward draw comfortable enough to reverse smoothly.
Keep the weight shift small and hold the arm shape below shoulder height.
Reaching the front hand farther while losing the supporting stance. Reduce both the reach and shift.
The app assigns 30 seconds to Pull the Bow Right. 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.
