The lateral band walking exercise looks (and feels) pretty strange, but it’s actually the perfect way to improve hip stability, strengthen the hip abductors—particularly the gluteus medius—and increase stability of the knee joint. 1 As a part of a.From the starting position, explode the weights up against the band to around parallel with the ground and flex the top of the movement hard to peak each contraction.
The mechanism that makes this such an awesome variation is pretty simple: the bands overload the top of the range of motion, while deloading the bottom.Stand tall, a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, your palms facing in. Position your feet roughly hip-distance apart. Check your posture—roll your shoulders back, engage your core, and look straight ahead.
Raise your arms simultaneously just a couple inches out to each side and pause.How to do a lateral squat walk: Loop a resistance band around your ankles and sit into a squat with your feet hip-distance apart to make the band taut. With your left foot firmly on the groun.How To Do Lateral Squats Start with your feet wider than your hips and your knees and toes pointing forward. (Slightly turning your feet out to 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock is okay too, if it feels.
Raise and lower the arms in a slow and controlled way. Swinging the arms up and down with momentum will likely engage different muscles, i.e., you will not gain the benefits of the lateral raise, namely built shoulders.

IT band syndrome (ITBS) is a common lateral knee injury. Overuse and repetitive flexion and extension of the knees usually cause this type of injury. It occurs when the IT band becomes tight.Variations of the squat can include weights, like barbells or dumbbells, resistance bands, or yoga balls.

Step 2: Walk your feet up on the wall until your body is at about a 70 degree angle with the wall. Step 3: Begin walking your hands and feet laterally down the wall.

Pull the band diagonally across your body so that one arm is pulling down and the upper is pulling up. Make sure to repeat in the opposite direction as well. Bent-over band pull-apart.

Variations: Quadruped hip extensions, clamshells, lateral band walks, x-band monster walks. Also, compound exercises like squats, hips thrusts, deadlifts, and lunges with a focus on full hip extension and a glute squeeze at the top of a movement.Shuffle Swings: Similar benefits as walking swings but the lateral movement pattern increases lateral glute/hip activation which is key for injury prevention and performance enhancement.

Aaaaahhhhh! I am obsessed with my mini bands! OBSESSED! Next to pool exercise, this is the greatest low impact workout for people with arthritis or other muscle or bone pain or ailments ���� Excellent for cardio and toning and your all-around wellbeing ❤️ A morning cup of tea while walking the doggo followed by a sunrise workout, the absolute best part of my day ����
aw thank you for this good workout video. I’ve been wondering what else I can do with my resistance loops.
Awesome video. Thank you for telling us where to put the bands and showing us how to use them much appreciated ☺️
I ordered a resistance band a couple days ago and I am so excited to use these exercises to try it out and feel the burnnnn! I subscribed! Feel free to help another small youtuber out:) xo
You look like a mixture of JIllian Michaels and Liv Tyler lol
Sooo expensive but love how thick your bands are!! ��
Since it’s fabric will it become loose & lose its resistance/tightening after while? Also please how many pounds is it??? I already use a lot of heavy/extra heavy bands to keep challenging myself. I would love to know! Thank you so much love your channel! ❤️
Bret How do you feel about band walks with band on femurs versus near lower tibia? Which is better for glutes?
Why would your title say “for women” Men can want boootyyyyy too
I’ve been a trainer for 15 years and I’ve never thought about tip number one!!! GAME CHANGER WOW!!! Thank you so much
For the love of god… those sound effects are so distracting.
Day 1: love this work out so far my legs are feeling it though and I’m using a medium band!
Hello dear! I just bought same band your using in your video.. hope u can make more videos to make thighs and butt bigger using the bands bcoz that my problem:( so far..
Thanks god bless
Congratulations on your launch girl! YASSS! It’s so awesome so see my girls kicking butt.
Talk the talk, walk the lateral walk. (Or backward walk) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27323323
Love how simple and educational your videos are, you get to the workout so quick and i love it!! �������� I’m gonna try these workouts today I’m excited
Awesome and sound advice, Bret! However, could you go little more in depth with the first tip? I know and understand why on the other tips but not the first one. I always thought it was the other way around since the lead leg is initiating the movement and the back leg is following through.
I really hate those bands the fold over �� gggrrrr! Awesome workout!!!
Deffo be adding this to my workout before I leave for the army great stuff ����
literally bought resistance bands an hour ago! so excited to try these out! ��
I will certainly give these a shot! I’ve been doing the lateral band walks but with the band on my feet about half way or middle of foot. I do the mind-muscle connection thing and drive with my heels. Push with one heel(right) while contracting the glute and when the other heel(left) lands on floor I almost do like a “heel pull” meaning I pull my body to that side with my heel, and also contract that other glue. I have found these amazing to activate my glutes!
In the study photos of the standing/squat side-to-side exercises the bands where at the ankles. Is there a reason that you placed the bands above your knees? Wonderful video ❤��
Sorry but I’m very wary of reviews when people get the items for free.
Can I still get great results using resistance bands at home? I can’t afford gym (after quarantine obvs)
How do I get rid of hip dips? My ribs and my hips are only 1 inch apart when I sit they touch. I am 4″11 140 lbs. Most my weight is carried in my lower half. Also have Broad shoulders.
Thank you so much for all your information, Bret! ❤️ Summary:
1. Picture pushing thru w/ground leg, not reaching w/in-air leg.
2. Keep tibias vertical in an athletic stance (knees, hips flexed).
3. Keep knees out, don’t allow caving in/valgus.
4. Feet either straight ahead or slightly turned in, NOT out.
5. Be consistent and robotic, not loosey-goosey.
This was great!! I love learning the science! Thanks for sharing
you have the most expensive bands, but I am so tempted because I want to support a fellow Canadian and I love the integrity of your channel
YESS SCIENCE!!!!
Oh sorry, that’s my nerd side speaking out loud haha.
Great video!! ����
I think i will order a band because my rubber band snapped while i was working out my arms.
I hit myself right in the face lol!!!
Fortunately i was alone, otherwise it would certainely have come on TV. ��
Thanks for taking the time to read peer-reviewed scientific journals articles to inform us as they are the most credible source. You look great!
What makes this such a refreshing video is for once there wasn’t a minute or even 5 minutes introduction about the person or the company or what’s for sale or the “what to click ons”.. Thank You! Under a minute it gets right to the Points!
Im about to order a resistance band and this video helped! Im lookimg forward to my journey. Also i wanted to add that you are pretty!
