SLIDERS
Stand in the middle of the band and place hands through a loop at each end. Step forward into a lunge with one foot. Keep the band underneath the sole of the back foot.
Bend your elbows and tuck your arms in close to your sides, palms facing the floor, hands at chest level.
Tilt forward as you lift your back foot off the floor and balance on your front leg as you keep it slightly bent.
