Lateral Band Walks Place a resistance band just below your knees. Begin standing with your feet directly underneath your hips, and squat about halfway down. Take a step sideways to the right as far as you can. To fully activate the muscle, be sure to step onto your heel, rather than your toes. Actively resist the pull of the exercise band as you bring your left leg slowly toward your right, returning to the starting position. This completes one repetition. Don't forget to work both sides!
