How to do it

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and place the resistance band under both feet, holding one handle of the band in each hand with your arms extended straight down, palms facing your hips.
2. Hinge at your hips and bend your knees, keeping your back straight, lowering your torso until it is almost parallel to the floor.
3. Press through your heels and extend your hips and knees to stand back up straight, bringing the handles up along your legs until you are fully upright.
4. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Ensure the resistance band is securely placed under your feet to avoid slipping.
• Exhale as you stand up and inhale as you lower back down.
• Use a resistance band with appropriate tension to ensure you can perform the exercise with good form.
