How to: Resistance Band Kneeling Woodchop
- Kneel on the floor and anchor the resistance band to a sturdy object on your side.
- Hold the band with both hands above your shoulder on the opposite side.
- Engage your core and rotate your torso, pulling the band down and across your body until your hands reach your hip.
- Control the resistance as you bring your hands back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, leading to poor form.
- Not engaging the core properly during the rotation.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band to decrease the intensity.
- Perform the exercise standing instead of kneeling if balance is an issue.
Tips
- Focus on the rotation from your core rather than just your arms.
- Keep your back straight and engage your core throughout the movement.
