Regular Banded Squats

Regular banded squats using a resistance band are a great way to activate the glutes, quads, and inner thighs while improving lower body strength and stability. The band adds extra resistance, increasing muscle engagement throughout the movement.

How to Perform Regular Banded Squats

Follow these steps to perform regular banded squats using a resistance band:

• Step 1: Place a resistance band around your legs just above your knees and stand with your feet hip-width apart.
• Step 2: Engage your core, keep your chest upright, and begin lowering your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
• Step 3: Lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your knees aligned with your toes and maintaining tension in the band.
• Step 4: Push through your heels to extend your legs and return to the starting position while keeping the band engaged.
• Step 5: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining control and proper form.

Tips to Perform Regular Banded Squats

• Keep constant tension in the band to maximize glute and thigh activation.
• Avoid letting your knees cave inward and push them slightly outward against the band.
• Maintain a slow and controlled movement to improve muscle engagement.
• Keep your chest lifted and core engaged to avoid rounding your back.
• Use a stronger resistance band as you progress for added difficulty.
