This move will work your whole body, challenge your core strength, and test your balance.
- Begin standing with feet together in parallel stance, band around your wrists with arms extended parallel to the floor.
- Step right leg back into a wide second position plié (turn out from hips and bend knees) and at the same time draw your right arm back into a bend while keeping your left arm strong and straight to the front.
- Return arm and leg to starting position. Repeat eight reps, slow 16 tempo.
- On last rep, hold the plié and draw your right arm back in little pulses for 16 reps. Repeat this series on the other side, stepping back with your left leg.
- Focus on keeping the front arm strong and straight and maintaining the abs in and up.
