Banded Lateral Walks

About

Banded Lateral Walks are a dynamic exercise that targets the glutes and legs, enhancing strength and stability. This exercise involves using a resistance band, typically placed around the knees or ankles, to create tension as you step sideways. The movement requires maintaining a wide stance, keeping feet at or wider than shoulder-width apart, and ensuring that the knees remain slightly bent to avoid locking or excessive bending. By performing Banded Lateral Walks, you engage the gluteus medius and hip abductors, crucial for hip and knee stability. This exercise improves balance, coordination, and posture while strengthening multiple muscle groups. It is suitable for beginners and can be integrated into various workout routines as a warm-up or strength-building exercise. Proper form is essential to effectively target the desired muscles and avoid relying on momentum or incorrect positioning.
