Setup instructions
1 ) Stand tall with a slight bend in the knees.
2) Place both feet through the band - pull it up to just above the knee caps and slightly widen your stance to keep it in place.
3) Hinge at the hips and slowly bend your legs - lower yourself into a squat position. Keep the chest up, core tight, back flat and head neutral.
4) If possible lower your legs until they’re close to parallel to the floor but keep the shins as vertical as possible by pushing the hips back.
Perform instructions
1) Keeping low with good back posture, take side steps forward then back.
If you have space it's preferable to perform in a zig zag pattern.
2) Repeat with alternating legs until you do the required reps per leg. Stay low throughout.
Note: Make your legs wide enough to keep pressure on the band.
