Step by step
- Secure a light band at chest height and stand sideways to the anchor with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the band with both hands at your sternum and step away until it is lightly taut.
- Brace your torso and press your hands straight forward without turning the chest or pelvis.
- Pause briefly, return to your chest slowly and repeat facing the other way.
Common mistakes
- Turning toward the anchor or leaning sideways.
- Using so much tension that the band pulls the hands off line.
