How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a resistance band. Place one end under your left foot, holding the other end in your right hand. Left hand rests on hip or hangs naturally. Engage your core, keep your back straight. Slowly bend to the right, pulling against the band. Pause, feeling a stretch in your left oblique. Return to start, contracting your oblique. Repeat on both sides.

Tips

Control movements for maximum muscle engagement. Avoid forward/backward lean; focus on lateral bend. Relax shoulders, maintain a slight bend in knees. Initiate and control the movement with your obliques. Exhale on the bend, inhale on the return.
