How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a loop resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees. Keep your chest up and bring both hands close to your chest.
2. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you are sitting in a chair.
3. Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position, keeping the resistance band taut.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your chest up and lean slightly forward to maintain proper form.
• Ensure your knees stay in line with your toes and do not collapse inward.
• Exhale as you stand up and inhale as you lower into the squat.
