Step-by-step instructions
- 01Anchor a resistance band securely above shoulder height at one side and stand far enough away to maintain light tension.
- 02Hold the band with both hands near the anchored-side shoulder, then step away from the anchor into a lateral lunge.
- 03As you sit your hips back over the lunging leg, pull your hands diagonally across your body toward the outside of that leg.
- 04Keep the lunging foot planted, the knee aligned with its toes, and your trunk controlled as your hips and upper back rotate together.
- 05Drive through the lunging foot to stand while returning your hands to the high position, then complete the prescribed repetitions before changing sides.
