Squats With Resistance Bands

Video Transcript

"MADISON CHASE: So we've covered the basic squat. Now we're going to do the basic squat using more resistance. You could either use your band or you could use your weight. I'll show you how to do both. Okay, so step safely into the band and you choose your resistance. This band is actually intermediate, and we're going to do hip-width apart. Bring those arms up to about shoulder level, and you want to make sure that your tummy is tucked in. You want to sit back on those heels, and you want to go as low as you can, making sure that your quad, your leg is parallel to the ground, and you want to come up, press up using those glutes. So that's position number one. Position number two, the same thing. You want to sit back on those heels and press that body up. That's position number two. Position number three, turn those toes slightly outward, and you want to sit back on those heels and squeeze up. You'll feel that more in your inner thigh. So remember those three positions. You have hip-width apart, feet together, legs turned out, and those are the three positions. And for resistance, more resistance, we're adding the band and I'll show you how to add weights."
