Resistance Band Full Squat

Muscles involved

Incorporating the resistance band full squat into your workout wakes up two of the most powerful functional muscle groups in your lower body: your quadriceps and glutes. The continuous outer tension provided by the resistance band forces your legs to fight for stability, keeping your knees properly tracked while driving through the movement. Awakening these muscles goes far beyond looking strong. In your daily life, every single time you stand up from a deep chair, climb up steep stairs with heavy groceries, or bend down to lift something off the floor, you rely directly on the power of your glutes and quadriceps. Strengthening them this way guarantees effortless movement and joint stability every single day.

How to do it

1. Place a bar on a rack at chest height and pass a band over your knees. 2. Position the bar on your rear shoulders and grip it with both hands. 3. Lower into a squat, pushing your knees against the band as you inhale. 4. Push upward, driving through your heels as you exhale.
