- Secure one end of a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at floor level.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, positioning yourself at an angle to the anchor point, holding the free end of the band with one hand.
- Step back slightly to create tension in the band, keeping your knees slightly bent and your back straight.
- Hinge at your hips and lower your torso slightly, allowing the arm holding the band to extend fully toward the anchor.
- Pull the band toward your waist by bending your elbow and rotating your torso slightly, mimicking the motion of starting a lawn mower.
- Squeeze your shoulder blade toward your spine at the top of the movement.
- Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in the band.
- Perform the desired number of reps on one side before switching to the other side.
