Resistance Band Lateral Walk
The resistance band lateral walk fires up the glute medius and hip abductors, which are often weak in people who only train in the sagittal plane. Place a band above your knees or around your ankles and step side to side.
How to Perform
Place the band just above your knees or around your ankles.
Get into a quarter squat position with feet hip-width apart.
Take controlled steps to one side, pushing against the band.
Keep your feet parallel and do not let the trailing leg snap back.
Complete all steps in one direction, then return.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Standing too upright, which reduces glute activation.
Letting the knees cave inward on the trailing leg.
Taking steps that are too narrow to create meaningful band tension.
