Starting Position

• Standing with Miniband around knees

Procedure

• Stand with your arms at your sides, your feet shoulder width apart and pointing straight ahead, and a mini band around and above your knees
• Maintain perfect posture and initiate movement with your hips
• As you reach your arms far forward, squat your hips back and down until your thighs are parallel to the floor
• Return to a standing position by pushing through your hips
• Keep your knees out
• Repeat until you've completed all your reps

Coaching Keys

• Keep your knees behind your toes during the movement
• Also, keep your knees pushing out against the band so that they do not collapse to the inside during the movement
• If you extend your arms in front of you, you can sit back more comfortably
• Keep your chest up and your back flat

You Should Feel It

• In your glutes, hamstrings, and quads
