Mini Band Squat
December 31, 2008
Starting Position
- Standing with Miniband around knees
Procedure
- Stand with your arms at your sides, your feet shoulder width apart and pointing straight ahead, and a mini band around and above your knees
- Maintain perfect posture and initiate movement with your hips
- As you reach your arms far forward, squat your hips back and down until your thighs are parallel to the floor
- Return to a standing position by pushing through your hips
- Keep your knees out
- Repeat until you've completed all your reps
Coaching Keys
- Keep your knees behind your toes during the movement
- Also, keep your knees pushing out against the band so that they do not collapse to the inside during the movement
- If you extend your arms in front of you, you can sit back more comfortably
- Keep your chest up and your back flat
You Should Feel It
- In your glutes, hamstrings, and quads
