This exercise is great for working the trunk, arms, and legs in a lateral motion.
Make sure you keep the tube close to your body during the movement. If you have the version with the Concept 2 footboards make sure you are standing on the Velcro straps. With the new version you must securely stand on the L-footplate to make sure it does not slip.
In the pulling motion I have a BLUE band (this direction you will have more power), and the pushing motion where the band is attached around the footboard tube and handle I am using a RED band (this direction is more challenging).
I alternate directions doing sets or 20 to 30 reps and I usually will complete 3 to 5 sets.
