Resistance-Band Kneeling Across-Body Straight Single

• A stable anchor point (such as a door frame or a squat rack)

1. Setup:

• Attach one end of the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at about shoulder height.

• Ensure the band is securely fastened and will not come loose during the exercise.

2. Starting Position:

   • Kneel on the floor with your right knee down and your left foot in front, creating a 90-degree angle at both knees.

   • Hold the other end of the resistance band in your right hand.

   • Position your left hand on your left hip for support and balance.

   • Keep your back straight and core engaged.

3. Movement:

   • From the starting position, pull the resistance band across your body towards your left side.

   • Keep your elbow slightly bent and your hand in line with your shoulder.

   • Focus on engaging your upper back and shoulder muscles as you pull the band.

   • Slowly return to the starting position while maintaining control of the band.

4. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10-15 repetitions on this side.

   • Switch sides by kneeling on your left knee and performing the same movement with your left hand.

5. Breathing:

   • Exhale as you pull the band across your body and inhale as you return to the starting position.

6. Tips:

   • Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize muscle engagement.

   • Ensure your core remains tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability.

   • Adjust the resistance of the band if needed to match your fitness level.
