How to do it
Squat to at least parallel depth before initiating the twist.
- 1
Stand on the band with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the other end with both hands in front of you.
- 2
Squat down while keeping your chest up and back straight.
- 3
As you rise from the squat, twist your torso to one side, bringing the band across your body.
- 4
Return to the starting position and repeat the movement, alternating sides with each repetition.
Expert tip
Ensure you maintain a strong, stable core throughout the exercise to maximize engagement of the abdominal muscles.
