Instructions
- Stand with your feet a little wider than hip-width apart and pull the elastic just above your kneecaps. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at the hips. This will be your starting position.
- Take a medium step to the side with your front foot, then take a small step with your back foot, feeling the resistance of the band with each step to the side.
Tips
- Avoid locking your knees during the exercise. Keep a slight flexion throughout the exercise.
- Keep your hips straight throughout the exercise. Don't let them spin as you move from side to side.
- Your knees should be in line with your feet at all times. Don't let them fall in during the exercise.
