Resistance Band Side Walk Squat
A side step with a looped band above the knees, then a squat, then the next step; the band keeps the outer hips working between the squats.
How to do it
Setup
Looped band just above the knees, feet hip-width, hands together at the chest.
Steps
- Take a wide step to the side against the band.
- Squat down with the knees pressing out.
- Stand, bring the trailing foot in partway, and step again.
Common mistakes
Trailing foot closing all the way in: stop at hip-width so the band never slackens. Knees caving in the squat: press them out over the toes. Leaning the torso sideways: stay upright between steps.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
