Want to tighten and tone your hips and thighs? Who doesn’t?!? All you need to try this fun move is a light to medium resistance band.

Tie the band around your ankles with the knot near one end of the band (picture 1) so you can pull up and grab the other end while standing. Keep the circled band around your ankles/lower calves (picture 2) while you take four wide side steps (picture 3) one direction (right) then four wide side steps back to where you began (left). This is one rep—try for six.

Next (without taking a break if you can), lower your butt down into a semi-squat position (picture 4) and repeat the moves taking four wide steps to the right while in the squat (picture 5) and four wide steps back to the left. Try for six of these reps too.

Then take a nice stretch because you deserve it!

Did you try this move? What do you think?

(One of these days I’m going to be lucky enough to find someone to model these moves for me! :) )
