In addition to a booty band, Ohashi uses two light dumbbells here, which she holds out in front of her with each side step. She also adds squat pulses to each rep.
- Place a resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees. Start with a lighter band and work your way up to a heavier one.
- Begin standing with your feet directly underneath your hips, and squat down halfway.
- Take a step sideways to the right as far as you can. To fully activate the muscle, be sure to step onto your heel, rather than your toes.
- Actively resist the pull of the exercise band as you bring your left leg slowly toward your right, returning to the starting position.
- Ohashi does one side step in each direction. If you want to do lateral walks (more than just one in each direction), you can do so (for example: side step across your bedroom floor in one direction, then back).
