One of my go-tos ☝🏽

The power that backwards walking can have on both the hips and knees is 👌🏼

This is one of my favorites to use as a warm-up for pickleball, exercising lower body and just for general stiffness 👏🏼

It’s amazing how just a few repetitions can really fire up your hips (in a good way!! 🔥)

Your hips directly impact your knees. It’s so important to make sure your hips are strong and moving well 👀

‼️ IMPORTANT: As you step back, think about stepping on a diagonal, making sure to keep your knees and ankles in line. Move the band to the knees to make it easier. The further the band is down your legs, the harder it will be.

Typically I accumulate 30-40 total steps when I’m doing this exercise, for 2-3 sets 🙌🏼

You can do this with or without a band. Simply trying this workout a band first can be a great way to see how it feels and decide if you need more resistance. Modify accordingly ⚠️

When doing this you may start to feel fatigue in your hips, primarily in the back of your hips and on the sides 👀
