Loop-Band Lateral & Squat Walk

1. Place a resistance band just above your knees. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring the band is taut, but not overstretched.

2. Stand tall with your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged.

3. Begin the exercise by stepping laterally to your right while maintaining tension on the band.

4. Once your right foot has stepped out, follow with your left foot to return to shoulder-width stance, keeping tension on the band throughout the movement.

5. Once back in the starting stance, perform a squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, lowering your body as though sitting back into a chair. Keep your chest lifted and back straight.

6. Push through your heels to return to the standing position.

7. Now repeat the lateral step to the left and perform another squat following the same technique.

8. Continue alternating lateral steps to each side, followed by squats, for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips: Keep the movements controlled and smooth to ensure muscle engagement and proper form. To increase the intensity, use a thicker or tighter resistance band.
