1 - Stand on the center of a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
2 - Hold the ends of the band at shoulder height with your palms facing forward, or cross the band and hold it at chest level for added tension.
3 - Brace your core, keep your chest up, and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
4 - Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body into a squat, descending until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below.
5 - Keep your knees tracking over your toes and ensure your heels remain flat on the ground throughout the descent.
6 - Drive through your heels and engage your glutes to press back up to the starting standing position.
