How to do it

1. Loop a resistance band around both ankles and stand tall, holding a wall or rack for balance if needed.
2. Shift your weight onto one leg and keep a soft bend in that knee.
3. Keeping your toes pointed forward and your torso upright, lift the free leg out to the side against the band.
4. Return slowly without letting the band pull the leg back, finish the set, then switch sides.
