Exercise Description

The lateral band walk builds stronger glutes and improves hip stability. It's perfect for fixing weak glutes and preventing knee injuries.

How To

1. Place a resistance band around your legs just above your knees and stand with feet hip-width apart 2. Keep your core tight and maintain a slight squat position throughout the lateral band walk movement 3. Step your right foot out to the side, keeping tension in the band and your knees tracking over your toes 4. Bring your left foot toward your right foot but maintain the band tension during the lateral band walk 5. Continue stepping sideways for 10-15 steps, then reverse direction and repeat on the other side

Form Tips

• Keep your knees pushed out against the band resistance throughout the entire lateral band walk • Maintain a slight squat position with your chest up and core engaged during each step • Take controlled steps and avoid letting the band snap your legs back together • Focus on stepping with your heel first, then rolling through to your toes for better lateral band walk form

Common Mistakes

• Letting your knees cave inward instead of pushing out against the band during lateral band walk steps • Standing too upright instead of staying in a slight squat position throughout the movement • Taking steps that are too small, which reduces the effectiveness of the lateral band walk exercise
