The X-Band Walk | A Tutorial

X-Band walks are a great exercise to strengthen the muscles in the glutes. Start off with a light band and as you progress you can start to go to a heavier band. Step into the band with your feet about shoulder width apart. Cross the band up to form an “X.” Set your hips back slightly as if to perform an air squat. Knees are bent and stay out over the toes the entire time. From here you will walk laterally in one direction and then repeat in the other direction. To get the full benefit, make sure to keep your steps wide and knees driven out the entire time. Take small steps as well maintaining tension on the band the whole time.
