Resistance band
How to do it
- Stand on the middle of a band with your feet hip to shoulder width apart.
- Bring the ends of the band over your shoulders and hold them at collarbone height.
- Brace your core, push your hips back and squat until your thighs are about parallel.
- Drive up through your whole foot against the band tension.
Coaching cues
- Widen your stance on the band for more resistance.
- Keep your chest up so the band tension does not pull you forward.
