Monster Band Walks

In today’s video, we’re focusing on Monster Band Walks — a versatile resistance band exercise to strengthen your glutes, improve hip stability, and enhance lower body control. With two challenging variations, this exercise is perfect for targeting your glutes and thighs!

Variation 1: Wide-Wide or Wide-Narrow Diagonal Walks (00:03)

1. Place a resistance band just above your knees.
2. Start in a quarter squat position with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core braced.
3. From a wide stance, step forward with one foot, then bring the other foot in to meet it.
4. With the same foot, step out wide again and meet with the other foot.
5. Alternate this sequence as you move forward and back.

Variation 2: Squat Monster Walks (00:31)

1. Stay in a low squat position with feet wide, as if on railroad tracks.
2. Maintain tension in the resistance band throughout the movement.
3. Step forward with one foot, then the other, keeping your stance wide and glutes engaged.
4. Continue moving forward for several steps, then reverse back to the starting position.

Tips for Success

• Keep your core engaged and your chest upright.
• Avoid letting the band slack; maintain constant tension for maximum effectiveness.
• Move slowly and with control to fully activate your glutes.

These Monster Band Walk variations are excellent for building glute strength, improving hip stability, and boosting lower body endurance. Incorporate them into your warm-up or workout routine to level up your lower body training!
