How to perform it

  1. Place a band around both ankles and another around both knees. There should be enough tension that they are tight when your feet are shoulder width apart.
  2. To begin, take short steps forward alternating your left and right foot.
  3. After several steps, do just the opposite and walk backward to where you started.

Muscles worked

The Monster Walk primarily targets your Abductors. You'll need bands.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Monster Walk slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
