Tips

Engage your core muscles as if bracing for a punch to maintain a stable base throughout the exercise. Ensure your hips and shoulders remain square to the band to prevent unwanted rotation and maximize muscle activation. Focus your gaze forward to discourage twisting and maintain proper spinal alignment. Actively squeeze your glutes to enhance core stability and power the movement. Keep your shoulders down and back to prevent upper back rounding and promote good posture.
