How to do it

Setup. Place a band around both ankles and another around both knees. There should be enough tension that they are tight when your feet are shoulder width apart.

1. To begin, take short steps forward alternating your left and right foot.
2. After several steps, do just the opposite and walk backward to where you started.

Cues

• Half squat, chest up.
• Short steps, keep the band tight.
• Push the knees out over the toes.
• Walk forward, then back.

Common mistakes

• Knees caving in.
• Standing up tall between steps.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
