Band Squat
How to do it
- Stand on the middle of a band, feet shoulder-width.
- Bring the ends up to your shoulders and hold them there.
- Squat down under control - the band goes slack, so the bottom is the easy part.
- Drive up hard; the band fights you most at the top.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top where the tension is highest.
