How to do it

  1. Place a loop band around your legs just above the knees or around your ankles.
  2. Stand with your feet hip width, knees slightly bent and hips pushed back a little.
  3. Step sideways with one foot, keeping tension on the band, then bring the other foot halfway in.
  4. Take the set number of steps one way, then walk back the other way.

Coaching cues

  • Keep your feet pointing forward and your toes from turning out.
  • Never let your feet touch together, the band should stay under tension the whole set.
