Lateral Band Walk
Before starting the exercise, it's recommended to find a flat surface, such as a yoga mat, to perform the exercise on.
Instructions:
- Position resistance band above knees and stand with feet hip-width apart.
- Lower into an athletic stance and step to the left.
- Continue with small strides to the left and repeat on right side.
Target muscles:
- Glutes, hips, inner and outer thighs
Variants:
- Instead of placing the band above the knees, position it around the ankles. This variation increases the activation of the gluteus medius and focuses more on hip stability.
- Instead of walking only sideways, you can perform a lateral band walk with a forward and backward movement. This variation adds targets the hip abductors and glutes, while challenging your balance and coordination.
