Exercise Description

The diagonal band walk exercise builds stronger glutes while working your core stability. It targets your butt muscles from different angles than regular squats.

How To

1. Place a resistance band around your ankles or just above your knees 2. Stand with feet hip-width apart, slight bend in your knees, hands on your hips 3. Step diagonally forward and out with your right foot, keeping tension in the band 4. Bring your left foot to meet the right, maintaining the diagonal band walk stance 5. Continue for 10-12 steps, then repeat the diagonal band walk pattern in the opposite direction

Form Tips

• Keep your knees slightly bent throughout the entire diagonal band walk movement • Don't let the band snap your feet together - control every step with your glute muscles • Keep your core tight and chest up during each diagonal band walk step • Take bigger steps to make the exercise harder, smaller steps to make it easier

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward instead of pushing out against the band resistance • Taking steps that are too small, which reduces the effectiveness of the diagonal band walk exercise • Leaning forward or hunching over instead of keeping your torso upright and strong
