ABDUCTORS

Mini Loop Band Lateral Walk

BeginnerResistance band

This banded side-stepping drill builds strength in the glute medius and the hip abductors that keep your knees tracking properly. The loop around your legs forces those muscles to fight tension on every step, which improves lateral stability for squatting, running, and everyday movement.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Loop a mini band around your legs just above the knees and stand with your feet under your hips.

  2. 2

    Drop into a shallow squat and hold that height for the whole set.

  3. 3

    Drive one foot out to the side, pressing against the band's resistance.

  4. 4

    Follow with the trailing foot until your stance is back to hip width.

  5. 5

    Keep travelling in that direction for several steps, then reverse and lead with the other leg.
