The Move: Serve the Platter
How to: Wrap the band behind your back right underneath your shoulder blades. While holding onto the band with your hands palms up, you’ll press your arms forward and back maintaining the tension throughout.
10 reps

The Move: Hug a Tree
How to: Keep the band in the same place as Serve the Platter, but now face your palms in. Pretend you’re hugging a tree and slowly resist the tension back. Try to keep your elbows from going behind your back.
10 reps

The Move: Newspaper
How to: Holding the band in front of your body with your elbows pinned in toward your waist, palms up, press the band apart while squeezing your shoulder blades.
10 reps

The Move: Arm Assisted Crunches
How to: Place the band behind the head. Holding onto the ends with tension, lift your arms straight up. Hold your legs in tabletop position and lift up into your crunch as you press your palms to the mat. Option to extend the legs as you crunch.
10 reps

The Move: Side-Line Sweeps
How to: Lying on your left side, with your shoulders and hips stacked, knees bent, place the band around the right arch of your foot. While holding onto the ends of the band with your left hand, you’ll sweep your right leg straight forward and back. Follow the sweeps with donkey kicks, bending the knee in and out for that extra burn. Repeat on the other leg.
10 reps
