Instructions
Attach a sturdy exercise band to a ring or strap that is fixed to an anchor point above head height.
Stand facing away from the anchor point, with the ring/band at about thigh level.
Lift your right foot and place it inside the ring/band, ensuring that it's securely held.
Move forward enough so that there's tension in the band, and balance on your left foot, with your left knee slightly bent.
Square your hips and shoulders, engage your core, and keep your chest lifted.
Begin by lowering your body down into a squat, allowing the band to assist in supporting the weight of your right leg.
Squat down as deeply as possible, or until your left thigh is parallel to the ground, maintaining balance and control.
Press through your left heel to extend the left knee and hip and return to the starting position.
Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
Make sure to perform the exercise with a controlled tempo, and focus on maintaining balance and correct posture throughout the set. Adjust the tension on the band as needed based on your strength level.
