Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart on a resistance band. Make sure the band is securely under the arches of your feet.
2. Hold the other ends of the band with your hands, bringing your hands up to your shoulders. This will create tension in the band.
3. Keep your chest up, back straight, and engage your core. This will be your starting position.
4. Begin the squat by bending at the hips and knees as if you are sitting back into a chair, keeping your knees in line with your toes. Ensure that you maintain tension in the band throughout the movement.
5. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as close as is comfortable for you.
6. Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position, extending your hips and knees. Avoid locking your knees when you reach the top of the movement.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that you choose an appropriate level of resistance band to match your fitness level and pay close attention to your form to avoid injury.
