Tube walking: side to side

Description: Place elastic tubing around the knees, maintain a quarter squat position, and sidestep for the desired number of repetitions in each direction. Make sure the knees are tracking in line with the second and third toes. Do not allow the knees to cave inward. This exercise primarily targets the hip abductors, such as the gluteus medius. The band can also be placed around the ankles (as shown) as a progression to this exercise. [ID: dynamic04]
