Anchor a resistance band at chest height to a secure point. Hold the free end with both hands, stepping away from the anchor point until you feel tension in the band.
Stand perpendicular to the anchor point with the band positioned at your chest.
Step forward with the leg furthest from the anchor into a lunge, lowering your back knee towards the ground. Ensure your front knee stays aligned over your toes.
While holding the lunge position, press the band straight out from your chest, keeping your torso upright and resisting the band’s pull.
Hold the extended position momentarily, then slowly bring your hands back to your chest.
Maintain stability throughout the movement, focusing on engaging your core and preventing your body from rotating toward the anchor point.
Step back to the starting position and repeat on the same side for the prescribed repetitions, then switch to the opposite side.
