Take a step to the side with your right foot while simultaneously bending your right knee and pulling the band by bending the elbow above and out.
Keep your left leg straight.
Your weight should shift to your right leg as you lunge.
Push off your right foot and return to the standing position.

Your back knee should be under your hip, not too far back.
Keep your torso upright.
Push off your front foot to return to the starting position.
Hold elbows close to the body with a four arm movement as you come down into the lunge.
