Legs – Squat with Long Resistance Band

Bands:

Step on the band with both feet. Grasp the upper part of the band with both hands.

Body Positioning:

Stand up straight, feet shoulder width apart. Keep your chest up, back straight and head straight. Activate your core. Hold the band with both hands at shoulder height.

Movement

Squat down to a 90 degree angle or until your body naturally stops. Keep your hands at shoulder height during the entire movement. Slowly return to
starting position and repeat for 10 – 15 times.

Points To Remember

1. Keep your chest up and your core engaged throughout the entire movement.

2. Push into the band to create tension, but don’t raise it over shoulder height.

3. Keep most of the weight in your heels.

4. Don’t let your knees come in, but also make sure that you don’t push past your toes
as you lower into your squat.

Rule:

If you are able to do more than 10-15 reps, change to a heavier band.
