Resistance-Band Step-Out Squat

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

2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart ensuring tension on the band. Keep your back straight, core engaged, and hands clasped in front of your chest.

3. Lower into a squat position, pushing your hips back and down while keeping your chest lifted.

4. While maintaining the squat position, step one foot out to the side as far as you can against the resistance of the band.

5. Bring the stepping foot back into the shoulder-width stance while still in the squat position.

6. Repeat the step-out motion with the other foot, ensuring you maintain squat depth and tension on the band throughout the exercise.

7. Alternate stepping each foot out for the desired number of reps before returning to a standing position to complete one set.

Remember to keep the movement controlled, and avoid letting your knees cave in as this can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and potentially cause injury.
