Decel Walking

  • HOW: Begin in a standing position. Anchor a resistance band or cable at hip height. Wrap the cable behind you, above the hip. Walk back until you feel resistance. Begin to slowly walk forward in a squatted position, loading the toes to the heels. Take small steps until there is no longer any resistance. 

 

  • FEEL: You feel the front of the thigh working. 

 

  • COMPENSATION: Avoid walking too heavy on the heels. Avoid keeping the shins in front and the knees back.
