The Monster Walk exercise is a resistance band exercise that targets the muscles in the hips and glutes. It is a great way to improve hip stability and strengthen the muscles in the lower body.
How to perform
To perform the Monster Walk exercise, follow these steps:1. Begin by placing a resistance band around your legs, just above your knees.
2. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
3. Take a small step to the side with your right foot, keeping tension on the resistance band.
4. Follow with your left foot, bringing it back to hip-width distance apart.
5. Continue taking small steps to the side, alternating between your right and left foot.
6. Make sure to keep your knees bent and your core engaged throughout the exercise.
7. Aim to perform 10-15 steps to each side before taking a break.
8. Repeat for 2-3 sets.
This exercise can be done as part of a warm-up or incorporated into a lower body workout routine to target the hips and glutes. Adjust the resistance band tension as needed to ensure it is challenging but still allows for proper form.
