Exercise of the Month

Posterior Diagonal Pull with JC band

1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes facing straight ahead.
2. Attach the JC Band ( or any medium resistance band) in front of you to a stationary object.
3. Grab the handles with an overhand grip with your palms facing towards the floor.
4. Step back until the amount of tension on the band is right for you.
5. While keeping your arms in front, squat down pushing your hips back, keeping most of your weight on your heels to activate the glutes.
6. Rise from the squat, keeping the knees slightly bent while rotating the hips and shoulders facing the side you are pulling to and pivot the opposite foot.
7. Keep the arms straight and pull the band to either side until your hands are parallel to your body. Make sure to do both sides.

* Make sure the band is safe to use. Check the band for tears and make sure the handles are secure prior to using.

**Although personal training generally promotes good health, there are certain individuals whose medical condition would prohibit a regimen of personal training or otherwise limit the type of training program that can be offered. All potential clients should obtain approval from their personal physicians with regard to an anticipated course of personal training before the program is undertaken.
