Technique
Setup
Place a loop band just above your knees (or around your ankles for more challenge). Sink into a quarter squat.
Movement
Step sideways, keeping tension on the band, then follow with the trailing foot. Complete all steps one direction, then return.
Form Tip
Stay low and level — do not let your hips bob up and down or your knees cave inward.
Increase Difficulty
Move the band to your ankles or take wider steps.
Decrease Difficulty
Move the band above your knees and take smaller steps.
