Band Squat Over Band

Pro Tip

If you have the flexibility, squat down further until your thighs pass the point at which they are parallel to the ground.

How To

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart over the middle of a band.
Hold each end of the band with an overhand grip so that your hands are comfortably just above shoulder-level.
Inhale and break at the hip, bending your knees so that you lower yourself to the ground.
Continue lowering yourself until your thigh reaches at least parallel to the ground.
Exhale and press yourself up through your feet while keeping them firmly planted on the ground, returning to the starting position. Do not allow your arms to help with the movement.
