Resistance Band Side Step

How To Do A Resistance Band Side Step Correctly

The Resistance Band Side Step is an exercise that targets your hips and glutes

To get started:

1. While standing with your knees slightly bent, wrap a resistance band just above both ankles, place your hands on your hips, and take a hip width stance so there’s tension on the resistance band.
2. Keeping your chest upright, back straight, and knees slightly bent, take a big step with one foot away from the opposite foot.
3. You should feel some nice tension on the outer hip and glutes.
4. Then take a similar sized step with the opposite foot towards your other foot, keeping a hip width stance and tension on the resistance band.
5. You can keep moving to one side if you have the room, or if you’re in a smaller space, simply take a big step back to the original position and repeat back and forth for reps.
