X Band Side Walk
Side steps with a tube band crossed into an X in front of the shins: stand on its middle and hold the handles at the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on the middle of a tube band, the ends crossed in front of the shins, handles at the hips, knees soft.
Steps
- Step one foot out to the side against the band.
- Bring the other foot in, keeping the tension.
- Take the steps one way, then back the other.
Common mistakes
Feet snapping together: keep the band taut between steps. Knees caving in: push them out over the toes. Leaning the trunk to step: stay tall and let the hips drive.
Breathing
Steady with the steps.
