Band Sumo Squat Version II

Setup

1. Place a resistance band around both legs, positioning it just above your knees.

2. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, with toes pointed slightly outward.

3. Keep your chest up, core engaged, and hands clasped in front of your chest or at your sides.

Movement

1. Inhale and slowly lower your hips by bending at the knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting into a chair. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes.

2. Maintain consistent tension against the resistance band throughout the movement by actively pushing your knees outward.

3. Lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, or slightly lower if comfortable.

4. Exhale and drive through your heels to return to the starting standing position, keeping your glutes engaged and chest upright throughout.
