Resistance Band Adduction Split Squat
The split squat with a band looped around the front knee and anchored low to the side; the knee must stay in line against the pull.
How to do it
Setup
Band just above the front knee, tied low to a bench leg at the side, split stance.
Steps
- Step out until the band holds some tension.
- Lower the back knee, the front knee over the toes.
- Stand back up, still resisting the pull.
Common mistakes
Knee drifting with the band: hold it over the middle of the foot. Band too tight to control: step closer to the anchor. Hips turning toward the pull: keep them square to the front.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
