Band Squat

Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and a resistance band placed around your thighs just above the knees (or under your feet and over your shoulders depending on setup). Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower into a squat, keeping your chest up and core engaged. Press outward against the band as you rise back up to standing, feeling the tension in your lower-body muscles throughout the movement.
