Bar Band Lying Alternate Leg Press
Lying on the back, a stick at the chest banded to both feet: press one leg out as the other knee comes in.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, the stick at the chest, a band loop around each foot.
Steps
- Press one foot out until the leg is straight.
- Draw the other knee toward the chest.
- Switch legs smoothly, lower back on the floor.
Common mistakes
Lower back arching as a leg straightens: press it into the floor. Stick sliding toward the face: keep it pinned at the chest. Legs snapping: control both the push and the return.
Breathing
Exhale on each push, inhale as the knee returns.
