How to do a resistance band lateral walk

Setup:

1. Band Placement: Place a mini resistance band around both legs, just above your ankles.
2. Stance: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward.
3. Body Position: Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, lowering your body into a partial squat position. Keep your back straight and core engaged.

The Lift:

1. Lateral Step: Take a step to the side with one foot, pushing against the resistance of the band. Keep your toes pointed forward and your core engaged.
2. Bring Feet Together: Bring your other foot towards your leading foot, returning to the starting position.
3. Repeat: Continue stepping laterally in one direction for the desired number of repetitions, then switch directions and repeat the movement.

Tips:

• Tension in the Band: Maintain tension in the band throughout the exercise. Avoid letting the band become slack.
• Foot Position: Keep your toes pointed forward and your feet flat on the ground.
• Hip Position: Avoid letting your hips sway or rotate as you step. Keep them stable and level.
• Variations: You can increase or decrease the resistance by using a different band, or by adjusting the placement of the band around your legs.
