Banded Squat

A bodyweight squat with a loop band above the knees to teach knees-out tracking.

How to do it

1. Place a loop band just above the knees.
2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly out.
3. Push the knees out against the band as you squat down.
4. Descend until thighs are parallel or below.
5. Drive through the heels to stand back up.

Tips

• Push the knees out against the band the whole rep.
• Keep the chest up and the back flat.
• Do not let the knees collapse inward.
