Tip from Rachel: "While doing this exercise, think of two important cues: pull the band from your upper back muscles and stabilize your front leg by engaging your standing glute and your core."
- Hold on to band with each hand and extend your arms up to chest height, making sure there is tension on the center of the band.
- Lower your body into a lunge position.
- Pull the band apart as you straighten your back leg.
- Release the band back with arms extended forward and rebend your back knee into your lunge. This completes one rep.
- Focus on keeping tension on the band the entire time, and keep the front leg still.
- Complete 20 reps, then hold your lunge and pulse the back knee down and up 20 times.
- Repeat on the other side.
