Instructions
1. Attach a resistance band to a high anchor point.
2. Kneel on one knee so that the forward knee is aligned with your anchored band.
3. Grasp the handle with both hands and position your arms fully extended upward to the side where the band is anchored.
4. Engage your core and pull the band down across your body to the opposite side, rotating your torso as you chop.
5. Only your arms should be moving; the torso should remain erect and abs engaged to stabilize your body.
6. Slowly return to the starting position with controlled movement resisting the band tension.
7. Complete the desired number of repetitions.
8. Switch sides and repeat the exercise with the opposite knee forward.
Make sure to keep your movements controlled, focusing on the contraction of your oblique muscles as you perform the chopping motion. Adjust the resistance of the band to suit your strength level and avoid any jerky motions that could lead to injury.
