Power Step Explosion
-
Anchor the band around a sturdy fixed object behind you and insert the band around your waist. Walk all the way forward to ensure there is no slack remaining in the band.
-
Begin in an athletic 3-point stand, similar to if you were going to power off the line.
-
Explode up and forward simultaneously and perform one powerful step against the full resistance of the band.
-
We recommend performing 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps per leg of banded power steps.
Power Chop / Foot Fire Variation
-
Instead of taking one power step you can power out and chop the feet, taking smaller power steps, before returning back down to starting position
Tips:
-
You can wrap the band over one shoulder so that it crosses your torso if more comfortable. You can also attach the band directly to a belt or harness.
-
The bands can safely stretch 2.5x their resting length. We recommend not stretching them further for safety.
-
Inspect the agility training bands each time before use to make sure they are not damaged.
