Lateral Walks With Band At Knees is a great functional movement exercise and helps improve your knees and hips' stability.

Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.

Lateral Walks With Band At Knees targets Abs, Hip Abductors, Hips as seen below.

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.
