The monster walk exercise may look a little different but it will give your legs and in particular your abductor muscles a real workout. You can buy a special band to place around both your ankles creating tension when you walk. The monster walk exercise, from a starting position where your legs are shoulder width apart joined by the band, requires you to take small steps forward, left, right, left, right feeling the tension the band creates around your legs and abductor muscles. After taking a few steps forward, take a few steps backward in the same manner and back to your starting position. As you become more confident, and you feel stronger, lengthen the steps you take to create more tension which will strengthen your abductor muscles even more.
