Primary muscles: Abductors

How to do 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.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Monster Walk from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abductors volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
