How to do it

1. Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Place a loop resistance band under your right foot and hold the other end on the floor with your right hand.
2. Kick your right leg backward until it's parallel to the floor, extending it fully while keeping the resistance band taut.
3. Slowly return your right leg to the starting position with control.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the left leg.

Form tips

• Exhale as you kick your leg back and inhale as you return it to the starting position.
• Ensure the resistance band stays securely under your foot and hand to maintain consistent tension.
• Focus on engaging your glutes throughout the movement.
