Equipment
Step back with your other foot, keeping it on the ball of your foot and your heel elevated, to ensure you are in a split stance position.
Lower your body in a controlled manner by bending your front knee and hip as if you were trying to sit back into a chair, keeping your chest up and your front knee in line with your foot.
When your front thigh is almost parallel to the floor, push through your front heel to return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the band throughout the movement.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and repeat the process.
Pro Tip
Stable Band Position: Ensure the band is securely positioned under your foot to avoid slipping during the exercise. The band should be taut but not overly stretched. This helps in maintaining balance and control during the exercise which is crucial for injury prevention. Controlled Movement: Perform the exercise in a controlled manner. Avoid rushing through the movements as this can compromise your form and lead to injuries
