Technique

How to perform Resistance Band Squat

1. Stand on the middle of a long loop band with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
2. Bring the upper part of the loop over your shoulders behind your neck and hold its front sides to control its position.
3. Distribute the band evenly beneath both feet and keep your trunk braced.
4. Bend your hips and knees, lowering into a squat while keeping your whole feet planted.
5. Descend as far as you can control without losing your trunk position or the band's placement.
6. Push through both feet and extend your hips and knees to stand, controlling the increasing band tension.
7. Reset your stance and band position before the next repetition.
