Monster Walk


Also called Forward-Backward Monster Walks
Technique
How to perform Monster Walk
- Place one mini loop band around the legs just above the knees and a second around the ankles.
- Stand with the feet about shoulder width apart so both bands are under tension, and soften the knees into a slight bend.
- Take short alternating steps forward while keeping the knees and feet apart against the bands.
- Keep the torso controlled and maintain the shallow bend without turning each step into a squat.
- Reverse with short alternating backward steps while preserving the same spacing and band tension.
