Area Targeted: Side Abs

Hit your abs in a whole new way by doing Low High Chops With Tube Bands. This exercise is amazing for targeting and working your Transverse Abdominis (side Abs). After a few weeks of these twisting movements will become easier and you will feel more mobility with increased your range of motion in your core.

Follow the instructions below to perform this exercise:

SET UP

Anchor: Secure the band(s) to the door with the door anchor at the bottom of the door.

Bands: Attach both ends of the band(s) to one handle, and grip the handle with both hands.

Body Positioning: Stand about 3 feet away from the door. Turn your body so that your side is facing the door. Keep your chest up, head straight and arms almost straight (elbows slightly bent). Get into the starting position by rotating and bending your body so that the handle is in front of the knee that is closet to the door.

MOVEMENT

Pull your hands up and across your body until they are at eye level. Return to the starting position (controlling the resistance). Repeat.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. Maintain only a slight bend in your arms, they should almost be straight.
