Banded Sumo Walk

A wide-stance lateral walk with a loop band around the lower legs, targeting the glute medius and maximus.

How to do it

1. Place a loop band around your lower legs, just above the ankles.
2. Drop into a quarter squat with feet wider than shoulder-width.
3. Step sideways in a wide stance, keeping tension on the band.
4. Bring the trailing foot in only partway so the band stays taut, and keep stepping for the prescribed distance before leading with the other leg.
5. Stay low throughout — do not stand up between steps.

Tips

• Keep tension on the band the entire set.
• Stay in a quarter-squat — do not stand tall between steps.
• Take small, controlled steps with toes pointed slightly out.
