How to do the Resistance Band Side Bend

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a resistance band overhead with your hands wide.
2. Pull gently outward on the band to keep tension and lift through your chest.
3. Lean slowly to one side, reaching up and over as you stretch along your side.
4. Return to center and repeat on the other side.

Tips

• Keep both hips level and lean straight to the side without twisting.

Adjustments

• Use a towel or belt held taut overhead if you don't have a band.
• Bring your hands wider or lean only a little if your shoulders feel tight.
