Lateral Band Walk
Also called: monster walk, banded side steps
Coaching cues

- sit into a quarter squat and stay there
- step sideways without letting the feet snap together
- keep tension in the band the whole set
Common mistakes
- standing tall and losing the squat
- feet clicking together so the band goes slack
- leaning the torso toward the stepping leg
- knees caving inward against the band
