Start with Partner A standing in front of Partner B, facing away. Rotate back to center and push back up to starting position. Make sure abs are tight and twist only your upper body (no pressure on your low back). ![]() Sink into a lunge with both knees bent about 90 degrees, core tight, and back straight.Īt the bottom of the lunge, keep holding the band and rotate away from each other. Simultaneously lunge forward with your outside leg (right leg for the person on the right, left leg for the person on the left). Stand far enough apart so there is light tension in the band. Stand side by side with each person holding one end of a resistance band with both hands. With core tight and a micro bend in right knee, Partner A pushes forward, fully extending both arms, then slowly bends at elbows to return to starting position. For balance, they can step right foot forward into a slight lunge. Partner A raises both hands to sides of body, keeping elbows bent at 90 degrees, so elbows, biceps, and forearms are parallel to the floor. ![]() Partner B acts as the anchor, holding the loop and stepping back until there is tension. Partner A holds both ends of a resistance band, with the loop hanging loosely behind their body. Try to time the movement so Partner B is at the top of the row (with elbows bent) as Partner A is fully extended in the chest press (arms straight). Focus on using your chest and back, not just your arms, to push the band forward.Īt the same time, Partner B completes a row by pulling the bands up, flexing elbows, and squeezing shoulder blades together. Push forward, keeping arms parallel to the floor, until elbows are fully extended. With staggered feet for additional stability, Partner A performs a chest press.Ĭomplete the chest press by raising arms to your sides, elbows bent at 90 degrees. Partner A steps forward until there is light tension in the bands. Partner B holds one end of each resistance band in each hand while Partner A holds the other ends. Partner A stands a few feet in front of Partner B, facing the same direction, so Partner B is looking at Partner A’s back. You’ll need two resistance bands for this move. Slowly re-bend arm and return to the 90-degree angle and repeat. Both partners bend elbows 90 degrees and hug elbow and biceps to their sides.Įxtend the arm holding the band, using triceps to push the band away from your partner, keeping elbow hugged into side throughout the movement. Hinge slightly toward each other from the waist. Stand facing each other with knees slightly bent, hips back, and core engaged, each partner holding one end of a resistance band on the same side (right hand for one partner, left hand for the other). Land lightly on toes and immediately lower again. In unison, jump up, maintaining band tension and arm position. Maintaining the position of your arms, both squat by sending hips back, bending knees, keeping core tight, and lowering. The band should have some light tension in it. Stand facing each other, each person holding one end of each resistance band, arms extended straight out. You’ll need two resistance bands for this exercise. Keep both feet in tabletop position and lower and raise only the one foot with the resistance band. Make it easier: Loop the band around one foot instead of both. Make sure the band is securely looped at the center of Partner A’s feet, so it won’t snap back and hit either partner. Once in position, Partner A contracts core, slowly lowers both heels toward the floor, taps heels, and then returns to tabletop position. Throughout the movement, Partner B stands with core tight, knees slightly bent, and arms holding the ends of the band. Partner B carefully loops the band around Partner A’s feet. Partner B holds both ends of the resistance band. ![]() Partner A brings feet into tabletop position (shins parallel to the floor). ![]() Partner A lies faceup, with Partner B standing at A’s head.
