Sets: 2-3

Reps: 8 each side

• Bend your knees and place a yoga block between your inner thighs.

• Hold a long resistance band straight out in front of you.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale, draw in your core and squeeze the yoga block with your inner thighs. Pull the band as you lean back and rotate.

  • Think about the trunk rotating the band, not just pulling with the shoulders.

  • A good cue is drawing your ribcage towards the opposite hip bone.

• Inhale as you come back up.

• Exhale and repeat.

• You should feel this working through your obliques. Make sure to draw the abs inwards vs pushing out.

Modifications:

• Decrease range of motion of the lean back. Keep within a range you can control.
