1. Start by sitting on a stability ball. Shoulders back, chest out and back straight.

2. The resistance band should be either to your left or right.

3. Only one foot will be flat on the ground. The other will be raised a couple of inches above the ground.

4. You will be grabbing the resistance band with only the hand opposite of the side that it is on so that it is across your body.

5. Grabbing the resistance band with your palm facing you, pull away, twist your body and simultaneously come up from the squat position until you are facing away from the pulley.

6. Think of it as a diagonal line. The cable starts at 7 o';clock and finishes at 1 o'clock. To finish the motion, come back from the top and reverse the motion to return to the position you started the exercise in. This completes one repetition.
