Coaching Objective
Skill Level: Advanced, Skill Development: Strength & Fitness. The Banded Body Weight Squat helps add further resistance to our Body Weight Squat exercise. The Body Weight Squat used on a regular basis will help build strength in your legs and tone your glutes and quads. Adding the band to the exercise creates further resistance and helps strengthen the glutes, quadriceps, and hip abductor muscles. It also tones the back and core. Banded Body Weight Squats help to fire up glute muscles.
This is a good warm up exercise. Always stretch before beginning any strength exercise.
Drill Instruction
- Select a resistance band with an appropriate strength for your level of fitness.
- Place the resistance band around both thighs. It needs to rest just above your knees.
- Start in a standing position with your feet shoulder length apart.
- Place your hands on the back of your head and feet turned out slightly to open the hip joint.
