Resistance Band Standing Single-Leg Knee Extension
Leaning on a chair with a band looped behind one knee from a low anchor in front, straighten that knee back against the band; the foot stays on the floor.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on a chair back, a loop band from the chair's leg around the back of one knee, that knee slightly bent, the foot flat.
Steps
- Straighten the knee fully, pressing it back against the band.
- Squeeze the front of the thigh for a beat.
- Let the knee bend forward slowly; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Band slack: step back until it pulls at the start. Leaning the hips back instead of straightening the knee: keep the hips over the feet. Letting the band snap the knee forward: bend it slowly.
Breathing
Exhale straightening, inhale bending.
