The resistance band alternating wood chops – with hop is a great exercise to strengthen your core, legs, glutes, arms, and shoulders.

Regression

Make this exercise easier by moving closer to the anchor to reduce the amount of tension on the Slastix.

Progression

Make this movement more challenging by using both battle ropes (“stacking”) or standing farther away from the anchor to increase the tension on the Slastix.
