Instructions

Proper Position

  • Attach a resistance band to a stable anchor point at knee height, such as a post or a sturdy bar.
  • Place the band behind your back, positioning it at hip level.
  • Step forward to create tension in the band and lean your back against a wall or flat surface.
  • Position your feet hip-width apart or slightly wider, with your toes pointing slightly outward.
  • Slowly lower into a squat position, bending your knees to about 90° with your thighs parallel to the floor.

Movement

  • Hold this position, contracting your quadriceps, glutes, and core.
  • Stay still for the desired duration, maintaining the tension in the band and an upright posture.
  • Adjust the band tension as needed to make the exercise easier or harder.

Breathing

  • Breathe slowly and deeply throughout the exercise to stabilize your core and sustain the effort.

Tips

  • Keep your back firmly pressed against the wall to avoid arching your lower back.
  • Focus on engaging your leg muscles and avoid letting your knees collapse inward.
  • If you're a beginner, start with a lighter resistance band to master the posture and hold.
  • Gradually increase the duration to intensify the effort.
