Scapular adductors draw the scapulae together to resist the shoulders from rounding forward.
Scapular depressors keep the shoulders down away from the ears.
Hip adductors keep the legs closed together.
Knee extensors keep the knees straight.
Plantar flexors keep the feet pointed.
Objectives

Engaging the bicep muscles to produce a rhythmic motion while keeping the torso stable.
Positioning the hands correctly (neither too high nor too low) provides better support and helps the body maintain the correct posture.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
