Instructions
1. Start by selecting an appropriate resistance band for your strength level.
2. Place the resistance band around both legs, positioning it just above your knees.
3. Stand with your feet roughly hip-width apart, ensuring there is tension in the band.
4. Lower yourself into a semi-squat position, like you are sitting back into a chair. Keep your back straight and chest up.
5. Take a small step to the side with one foot, followed by the other, maintaining the squat position and keeping tension in the resistance band at all times.
6. Continue to side-step in one direction for the desired distance or until you feel your muscles are effectively activated.
7. Repeat the movement in the opposite direction.
8. Continue these steps for the desired number of sets or for a certain time duration, making sure to keep the intensity and form consistent throughout the exercise.
Note: Ensure you maintain good form through the exercise with your knees tracking over toes and your weight on your heels. Make sure not to let your knees collapse inward. Keeping your movement steady and controlled will better engage the muscles and provide a more effective workout.
