Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place one end of a resistance band under the foot of your arm of choice. Hold the other end with your free arm so that the band stretches diagonally across your body.

Step 2: Bend slightly at the waist and make sure the hand holding the band is parallel to the opposite knee while keeping your other hand on your hip.

Step 3: Mimic starting a lawn mower and straighten your body while pulling your elbow across the ribs in slow motion. Keep your shoulders relaxed and while you give your blades a good squeeze.
