How to do a Lateral Band Walk?

Lateral band walks are fantastic strength training exercises for the glute and hip muscles. As we mentioned above, lateral walks target the hip abductor muscles located in your hips and glutes. The glutes and hips are two of the most underestimated muscle groups in your body. Walking with resistance bands allows you to exercise your upper body at the same time. The lateral band walking exercise looks (and feels) pretty strange, but it's the perfect way to improve hip stability, strengthen the hip abductors—particularly the gluteus medius—and increase the stability of the knee joint. Do 10 to 12 repetitions on each side or, if you prefer, alternate sides for 30 to 60 seconds. To activate your glutes even further, pair the lateral band walk with the fire hydrant, clamshell, and pilates grasshopper.
