Core – Side Bends with Long Resistance Band

Bands:

Fold the band and grasp the ends with both hands

Body Positioning:

Stand up straight, a little more than feet hip width apart. Extend your arms overhead while stretching the band as much as possible. Activate your core.

Movement:

Bend your body against the resistance of the band to one side. Keep your arms extended and the band stretched. Slowly come back to the middle before bending to the other side. Repeat for 10 – 15 times.

Points to remember:

Try to keep your core engaged the entire time. Don’t bend forward or backwards.

Rule:

If you are able to do more than 10-15 reps, change to a heavier band.
