Loop-Band Side-Step

1. Step inside the looped resistance band, and adjust it so it sits just above both ankles.

2. Cross the band in front of you to create an 'X' shape at the shins.

3. Assume a semi-squat position with feet shoulder-width apart to create tension in the band. Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight.

4. Begin the movement by stepping to the side with your leading leg, maintaining tension in the band. Keep your toes pointed straight ahead.

5. Follow with your trailing leg, stepping in towards your leading leg to re-create the shoulder-width stance, keeping the band tight.

6. Repeat the steps for the desired number of reps or distance, then switch directions and lead with the opposite leg for balanced work.

7. Keep your movements slow and controlled, focusing on using your glute muscles and keeping your core engaged for stability.

8. Continue alternating directions for the prescribed number of sets or timeframe.

Remember to maintain good posture throughout the exercise and control the band's tension. Adjust the resistance as needed.
