How to: Resistance Band Duck Walk
- Place the resistance band around your thighs, just above the knees.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bending your knees slightly.
- Lower into a squat position, keeping your chest up and back straight.
- While maintaining the squat position, step sideways with one foot, followed by the other, to create a duck walking motion.
- Continue walking in this manner for a set distance or number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the knees cave inward during the walk.
- Rounding the back instead of maintaining a straight posture.
- Moving too quickly without control.
Modifications
- Use a lighter resistance band for less tension.
- Perform the movement without a band to focus on technique.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the movement.
- Move slowly and steadily to maintain balance and control.
- Ensure the resistance band is secured properly to avoid injury.
