Area Targeted: Side Abs

Experience a fresh approach to ab workouts with Low High Chops using tube bands. This exercise targets your Transverse Abdominus (side abs) effectively. Incorporating the Bodylastics Curl Bar, twisting movements will improve, increasing core mobility and range of motion over time. Embrace the change for a dynamic workout.

Learn set-up, movements and points to remember below:

Set Up

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

Bands: Thread the band(s) through the anchor and attach both ends of the band(s) to one outer ring on the bar.

Body Positioning: Grip the bar with both hands, one on each side of the center collar. Turn your body so that your side is facing the door. The hand closest to the anchor point should grip with palm up and the other hand with palm down. The ring closest to the anchor should be at knee level, and the other ring at hip level. Stand far enough away from the anchor point so that the band is just starting to stretch. Keep your chest up, head straight, and abs in a slight crunch position.

Movement

Rotate the bar up and across your body until the ring that is attached to the band(s) is past and above eye level. Return to the starting position (controlling the resistance). Repeat.

Points To Remember

1. Try to keep your upper body relaxed while you rotate.
