How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Anchor a resistance band securely above shoulder height and stand sideways to it while holding the band with both hands.
  2. 02Begin with your hands near the shoulder closest to the anchor, your knees soft, and your trunk braced.
  3. 03Pull the band diagonally across your body toward the opposite hip, allowing your torso and hips to rotate together under control.
  4. 04Keep your arms connected to your trunk and pivot as needed rather than yanking the band with your shoulders alone.
  5. 05Return slowly to the high starting position, complete the prescribed repetitions, and turn around to train the other direction.
