TAP OUTS
Tap Outs
Sets: 1-2
Reps: 15 each side
Place a small looped band around your ankles (light resistance).
Get into a hinged position with a small bend in your knees and hips sitting back.
Inhale to prep for the movement allowing ribcage to expand.
Exhale and draw in pelvic floor and core, stabilize through one leg as you tap the other leg out to the side and slightly back.
Most of your weight should stay through the front leg. Keep your trunk in midline and avoid leaning to the side.
Inhale as you bring the foot back in. Exhale, draw in a press.
Perform on both sides.
Tip: Your stabilizing leg is the one working the most. Keep the knee pointing forward (don’t let it roll in towards the big toe). You should really feel the side glute working.
Modifications:
Put the band above the knees or remove entirely.
