Band Walks–TGR’s MTB Training Camp

Hey mountain bikers! Crystal Wright here from Wright Training here in Jackson Hole. This is the eighth part of our nine-part workout series for TGR's Mountain Bike Training Camp, and today we'll be focusing on Band Walks and Clamps–two great exercises for preventing knee and low back pain by working on the glutes and the stabilizer muscles. Here's how to do the Band Walk first:

Give yourself about 50 feet to move down and back during the exercise.

Place the band just above your ankles.

Keep your toes pointed straight ahead with your knees slightly bent.

Keep the band taught enough so there's resistance throughout the exercise; don't let your feet come completely together.

For the clamp part of this exercise,

Place the band above your knees this time.

Keep your belly button pointed down.
