Squat Exercises With Resistance Bands

Video Transcript

"Hello, on behalf of Expert Village my name is Unique Anderson and I'm here with X, Los, and Arvy and we're here with Energy Fitness in New York City talking about resistance band techniques. Now, here we are getting your lower body involved in this resistance band training. We have several ways to do it. We have a non-weighted squat, now what a non-weighted squat means is that you're focusing on the weight in front of you, that external resistance in front of you, and then you're coming down into a squat position. Like you're sitting down into a chair and regular squat back up, squeezing and tight, keeping the core engaged. Keep on doing those squats, guys. Then we're gonna be over here with Carlos, this is a resistance band squat, you're focusing on the core the same way but this is a different plane of motion. You're acting like, this band is simulating a bar bell. OK, so you're focusing on keeping the core engaged, working your glutes, driving through your heels, not pressing to the balls of the feet. Now, if we have more intermediate to advanced player, or athlete, or person, you can focus on the jump squat here. So, you're coming down into that squat, popping up, right back down. Now, what's going to happen is that this right here is going to be pulling them in a different plane of motion, in a different plane of motion, OK. Also, too, we can't do squats without your legs being involved, keep it going guys, let's go, press, press, good."
