banded walks

Banded Monster Walks

Banded Monster Walks is a great movement we use in our warm-ups. These walks help get the glutes and hamstrings activated and is always an easy way to get those posterior muscles fired up. 

Set Up: 

Step both legs through the band and place it right above your knees. Place your feet under your hips, unlock your knees and hinge forward while trying to maintain vertical shins. Drive your knees out and into the band. Stay on your heels and keep the toes pointing forward. 

Lateral, Forward and Backwards Walks

While maintain the above position and driving the knees into the band, start walking. Take little steps so as not to lose your positioning. Walk left and to the right, forward and backward for 10 steps in each direction. Feel the buns burn and repeat for 2-3 sets. 

If you struggle with inactive glutes, try incorporating these into every warmup routine.
