The Resistance Band Horizontal Pallof Press is an anti-rotation exercise that strengthens the core, particularly the obliques. It involves pressing a resistance band away from the body's center to build stability and control.
How to do it
- Attach a resistance band to a fixed point at chest height.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands at chest level.
- Step away to create tension in the band; face shoulders perpendicular to the anchor point.
- Press the band horizontally out from your chest, keeping a stable core.
- Hold briefly, then return to the start position while resisting band pull.
