Side Walk (Banded)

How to do it

  1. Loop a resistance band around your ankles or just above your knees and stand with feet hip-width apart.
  2. Sink into a quarter squat, keeping tension on the band and your chest lifted.
  3. Brace your hands and forearms in a relaxed guard position while gripping the stance firmly through your feet.
  4. Step sideways with the lead foot against the band's resistance, then follow with the trailing foot to reset the stance width.
  5. Keep your core braced throughout to prevent your hips from rising or dipping as you travel.
  6. Continue stepping in one direction for the set, then repeat leading with the opposite foot.
