Execution
How to do it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a loop resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees. Bend your hips and knees to lower into a half-squat position, and lean your back slightly forward, keeping your back straight.
Press your knees outward against the band's resistance, opening your legs as wide as possible.
Slowly bring your knees back together to the starting position with control, keeping tension in the band.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining the half squat position.
Form tips
Exhale as you press your knees outward and inhale as you bring them back together.
Use a resistance band that provides enough tension to challenge your muscles without compromising form.
Ensure your feet remain flat on the floor and your weight is evenly distributed.
