How to: Band Half Kneeling Chop
- Begin in a half-kneeling position with the band attached at a low point to your side.
- Grip the band with both hands above your shoulder.
- Engage your core, and rotate your torso as you pull the band diagonally down across your body towards the opposite hip.
- Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then return to the starting position with control.
- Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movement.
- Not keeping the core engaged, leading to poor form.
Modifications
- Reduce the resistance of the band for a lower intensity.
- Perform the chop from a seated position if kneeling is uncomfortable.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain stability.
- Ensure the band is anchored properly before starting the exercise.
