Move 5: Side stepWhat it works: Outer glutes, hips How to do it:
• With both feet, step onto the center of your band and pick up the ends of the band in each hand.
• Crisscross the band so each end is in the opposite hand.
• Stand up tall and take 15 large steps to the right.
• Reverse directions and take 15 large steps to the left.
These work! I remember many of these moves from the hour of warm-up exercises I had before ballet class at a college. I was in amazing shape and my legs never looked better!
some days i am too tired to workout but i push myself to do it anyway and it always makes me feel better. the one legged squat seems like it will hurt but "no pain, no gain" right? Im going to try these today!
You can definitely pull some of these off without the equipment. Use the stairs, for example. Looking forward to adding these to my routine! My legs are probably the worst part of my body.
These tips are great. Even for a guy to do (Not sure about the ballet part though for a guy, lol) but nonetheless, I think most of these exercises can be great for a man or woman to do. One tip I've heard is to have a workout buddy and I see alot of couples working out together now-a-days. Wish there were more co-ed exercise tips on this site rather than just woman exercises :/
