Exercise Description

Squats With Band targets the glutes, quadriceps, and hip adductor muscles. This exercise also targets the back and core.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    First, make sure that the exercise band is evenly distributed between the left and right sides of the body. To do this, grab both sides of the strip with your hands and place both feet in the middle of the strip. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
  • Step 2

    When you hold the bands, they should be the same height on each side. In this exercise, you should use a pronated grip (palms facing forward) and keep the strap handles close to your face. This is the starting position.
  • Step 3

    Slowly begin to bend your knees and lower your legs until your thighs are parallel to the floor as you exhale. As you exhale, return your body to the starting position with your heels. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
