The Monster Walk

This week’s exercise will be the monster walk, so get ready to feel the burn, as this is one of the best exercises for your weak glutes!

*For maximal glute activation, you can modify this by placing the band around the tops of your feet instead

How-To Steps:

  1. Start with knees slightly bent, hips slightly hinged forward, and feet facing forward. Feet shoulder width apart.
  2. Take a half step in one direction with lead foot (left in picture), shifting your weight over at the same time in order to keep knee over top of toes.
  3. Slowly take half step with trail foot to bring feet back to shoulder width apart, resisting the pull of the band. Take 10 steps in one direction and 10 steps back to complete one full set.

*Try 3 sets of 10 steps in each direction.

*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
