Instructions

Loop a resistance band around an anchor point like a fence railing or even a small tree. Place this at approximately chest height.

Place a chair in front of the band, but far enough away to create tension on the band, when it is attached to your leg. Have the back of the chair facing the band.

Using the back of the chair as support, loop the band around one of your ankles. Jump/step towards the chair so that your standing leg is directly beneath you.

From this position, straighten your leg that is attached to the band by extending at the knee, until your leg is beneath you, then release it back to the start position. Repeat for the desired number of reps and then repeat on the other leg.

Tip

Move further away from the anchor point to create more resistance, or set yourself closer for less resistance.
