Instructions
1. Begin by securing a resistance band under the foot of your front leg, and grip the other end with both hands.
2. Place your rear foot on the bench behind you. Ensure your front foot is far enough forward that your knee does not pass your toes when you squat down.
3. Stand tall, with your chest up and core engaged. The band should be taut, but not stretched to its full capacity.
4. Lower your body by bending your front knee, making sure not to let the knee cave inward. Squat down until your front thigh is approximately parallel to the floor or as far as you can go without compromising form.
5. Pressing mainly through the heel of your front foot, extend your leg to return to the starting position.
6. Perform all the desired repetitions on one leg before switching to the other leg.
7. Maintain control throughout the movement and avoid using momentum to lift your body up.
Ensure that you have an appropriate resistance band for your strength level and that it is securely placed to prevent it from slipping. Adjust the band or your foot placement as needed to vary resistance and intensity.
