1. Place a resistance band just above the knees tight enough so it stays up by itself.
2. Open the legs to slightly wider than hip-width apart and turn the feet outwards. Now stretch the band by rotating the thighs outwards, so that your knees are in line with your feet. In doing so, you should feel the glute muscles contract. Raise the arms to help counterbalance.
3. Keeping the knees rotated outwards and tension on the band, lower yourself into a slight squat position, sticking your bottom out behind you as if you were about to sit down.
4. Keeping your upper body still, take a half step sideways against the resistance of the band. Make sure the other leg stays still, pushing out against the band.
5. Now take a half step inwards with the opposite leg, making sure that you do not step too far.
6. Repeat this series of steps in a slow, controlled motion, ensuring the inner foot does not spring in, keeping tension in the band. When you have done eight steps in one direction, come back with the other leg leading.
