Monster Band Walks: Build Strong, Stable Hips and Glutes

Looking for a killer lower-body warm-up or glute-burner? Monster Band Walks are a powerhouse move to fire up your hips, strengthen your glutes, and improve knee stability—all with just a resistance band.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Band Up
    Place a resistance band just above your knees.
  2. Get in Position
    Drop into a quarter squat:
    • Feet hip-width apart
    • Knees slightly bent
    • Core braced
  3. Start the Walk
    • From a wide stance, step forward with one foot.
    • Bring the other foot in to meet it.
    • With the same foot, step out wide again, then follow with the other.
  4. Stay Low, Stay Wide
    • Keep your squat low and feet wide like you’re on railroad tracks.
    • Maintain tension in the band throughout.
  5. Reverse It
    • After moving forward several steps, reverse the movement back to the starting position.

Perform 2–3 sets of 10–15 steps forward and back.

This exercise is great for:

  • Glute activation
  • Hip stability
  • Injury prevention
