How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand evenly on the middle of a long resistance band and guide the other section across the muscular upper back, not the neck.
- 02Hold the band beside your shoulders so it cannot slide and set your feet about hip-width apart.
- 03Soften your knees, brace your trunk, and push your hips backward while keeping your spine neutral and pressure through the whole foot.
- 04Stop when the hamstrings are loaded or before your back position changes.
- 05Drive the hips forward to stand tall, finishing with stacked ribs and pelvis rather than leaning backward.
