- Next, place your right foot through the handle of your loop, flexing your foot so the band stays in place. While in tabletop position, bring your right knee (foot still flexed) to your right tricep. From here, kick your right leg back directly behind you, pulsing for three counts. Bring your leg back to the starting position and repeat for your desired amount of reps. Repeat on your left leg.
