In this video, watch as athletic trainer Nick Cole demonstrates a plank with diagonal resistance band pull. This exercise increases strength and stability in the shoulder while challenging your balance. To complete this exercise, you’ll need a resistance band to loop around a stable surface.
Start in the pushup position two to three feet away from the band anchor, which should be offset perpendicularly to the right. Hold the band with your right hand with your body weight supported by your left arm. Pull down and away slowly then return to the starting position. Complete 10-12 repetitions on each side for two to three sets.
To make this exercise easier, rotate your starting position to 90 degrees and pull straight across your body. To make it more difficult, adjust the weight of the resistance band.
Watch as Nick demonstrates the proper technique for this exercise.
