Story summary

The duck walk is an effective exercise for strength, balance, and coordination, especially for runners, targeting the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core.
Personal trainer Sabrina Pace-Humphreys emphasizes proper technique, warning against knee caving and urging a low position.
Beginners can start in a half-squat or with support, while resistance bands or backward walking increase the challenge, and Pace-Humphreys recommends practicing two to three times weekly.
