Step by step

1. Anchor the band at chest height and stand side-on to it, holding the end at your chest with both hands.
2. Step out until the band pulls, feet hip-width apart, knees soft.
3. Press your hands straight out in front of you and hold for a breath without turning.
4. Bring them back to your chest. Finish the set, then turn round.

Tip: A core move that protects your back: the job is to not twist.

Go easy: Anchor the band to something that cannot move; stand tall and don't let it turn you.
