How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Anchor a resistance band securely at chest height and stand sideways to it while holding the band with both hands.
  2. 02Step away to create tension, soften your knees, and brace your trunk with your hands centered in front of your chest.
  3. 03Rotate your rib cage away from the anchor, allowing only the prescribed amount of hip rotation while keeping your feet stable.
  4. 04Keep your arms extended enough to transfer the load to your trunk without pulling primarily with your shoulders.
  5. 05Return to the starting position slowly, complete the prescribed repetitions, and turn around to train the other direction.
