Instructions
1. Place a looped resistance band just above your knees and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. The band should be tight enough to provide tension when your feet are placed this distance apart.
2. Assume a half-squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your back straight and head facing forward.
3. Maintaining the squat position, take a slow and controlled step to the side with your left foot, stretching the band as you move. Ensure you keep tension on the band and do not let your feet come together.
4. Follow your left foot by stepping out to the side with your right foot, returning to shoulder-width apart stance while maintaining the tension on the band.
5. Continue stepping out to the side for a specific number of repetitions or distance before switching directions and leading with the opposite foot.
6. Make sure your movements are controlled and your weight is distributed evenly through your feet.
7. Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout the movement.
Repeat the lateral steps for the desired number of repetitions or time, making sure to work both sides equally.
