Movement: Rotation, pull
Primary Muscle/s: Trunk & hip rotators, obliques, lats,
Secondary Muscle/s: Shoulders, upper back, triceps
How to:
– You may choose to anchor a single band at a low point (below standing knee level) or at a high point (above standing eye level). This would affect the diagonal pull direction.
– Position yourself in a neutral stance, with your side facing the anchor point. Clasp the band between both hands and position hands beside your hip (if anchor point is low) or diagonal above your head (if anchor point is high)
– Perform exercise by drawing the hands and band diagonally across the body, rotating through the hips and trunk, whilst keeping the elbows locked. Exhale as you drive the hands across the body.
– Return to the start position in the reverse direction, and in a controlled manner and repeat.
