How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Anchor the band securely at chest height to one side and stand sideways with both hands extended toward the anchor under tension.
  2. 02Set the feet at squat width, brace, and lower into a controlled squat while keeping both feet planted.
  3. 03As you stand, rotate through the rib cage and pull the hands across the body toward the opposite side.
  4. 04Keep the knees aligned and pelvis controlled rather than twisting through the lower back.
  5. 05Reverse the path into the squat, complete the repetitions, then turn around to train the other direction.
