Exercise notes
- HOW: Place a band around your ankles, slightly bend your knees, and hinge through your hips - this is the position you will be in throughout the exercise. Start with your feet hip width apart and step to the side. The trailing leg will follow to re-assume your starting position before you take your next step.
- FEEL: You will feel the side of your glutes working. Due to the sustained quarter-squat position, you may also feel your quads working a bit.
- COMPENSATION: Avoid overstepping with the trailing leg and positioning it narrower than hip width apart - you will lose tension in the band. Avoid rocking back and forth through the trunk and hips as you step.
