Resistance band squat exercises are a great way to tighten, strengthen, and shape the entire lower body. By doing squat exercises using resistance bands you are working out the entire lower body in this resistance band training routine. There are several ways you can do squats using resistance bands. In this article I am going to focus on the resistance band squat press. With a resistance band squat press, you’re focusing on the core section. With this exercise the resistance band is simulating a bar bell, but instead of lifting weights on a bar bell, you are lifting the resistance exerted when stretching the band.
How To Do A Resistance Band Squat Press
For this exercise the resistance band will not be anchored on to an object. Holding both handles of the resistance band, allow the center of the band to rest on the floor and then step onto it with both feet. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and hold the resistance band in each hand at shoulder level. The distance between your foot and the handle should be the same on both sides.
Begin the exercise by lowering down into a squat position, by bending at the waist and allowing your hips to move behind you as if you were sitting on a chair. Make sure to keep your back straight and chest lifted with the movement. Your knees should not go past 90 degrees.
To complete the exercise, stand straight up, pushing through the legs and drawing the hips forward. As you stand up, extend the arms upward. If you find the resistance to be too difficult, then you can push up in squat position. When you return to the starting position exhale at the same time to ensure you are breathing correctly. Complete 12-15 repetitions of this exercise.
