How to Do Resistance Band Squats
The resistance band squats should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the resistance band squats.
Beginning
Beginning Squats with Bands
Don't get too excited. The circular movement of rising up provides the majority of the benefits of squatting. Slowly stand up, clenching your glutes as you do so.
Movement

1. With a loop or mini loop band just above your knees, stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. With your hands on your hips or in front of you, point your toes slightly outward.
2. Bend your knees and slowly push your hips back into a sitting posture.
3. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground. You should be able to bend your knees at a 90-degree angle. Hold the pose for 2–3 seconds before slowly resuming your original position.
4. Reps should be 8–12 per set.
