Resistance Band Lateral Step and Squat

A side step against a loop band above the knees, then a squat; the band makes the hips fight to keep the knees apart.

How to do it

Setup

A loop band just above the knees, feet hip-width, hands at the chest.

Steps

Step one foot out to the side against the band.
Squat, knees pushed out.
Stand, bring the other foot in, and repeat.

Common mistakes

Knees caving into the band: push them out. Feet snapping together after the step: keep the band taut. Leaning over the stepping foot: the torso stays upright.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale up.
