February 2009
1. MINI-BAND WALK FORWARD
(ONE SET, 10 STEPS)
Why it works: The resistance of the stretch bands against your legs activates and strengthens the glutes, which are key to maintaining a stable base when you swing, especially at faster speeds.(ONE SET, 10 STEPS)
How to do it: Place a mini-band around your legs above the knee and another around your ankles. Walk forward in small steeps, keeping your knees bent and alternating the elbows driving back with each step. Keep your back straight and your knees over your toes at all times.
