Resistance Band Squats
How to Do Resistance Band Squats
- Begin the movement by stepping on to a resistance band with your feet at shoulder-width, toes pointed slightly out.
- Bring your hands to your shoulders, keeping the handles of the band behind your shoulders. Brace your core and keep your chest up.
- Bend first at the knees then at the hips. Be sure to keep the chest up and abdominals tight. There should be no arch in your back.
- Pause when your thighs are parallel with the floor, then slowly return to the starting position, feeling the tension from the band in your quadriceps.
