Mini Loop Band Squat

BeginnerResistance band

The mini loop band squat wraps a band just above the knees during a bodyweight squat, so you have to press your knees outward the whole time to stop them caving in. That extra work fires up the smaller hip and glute muscles that control knee position. It's a great drill for grooving squat form and building healthy movement patterns.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Loop a mini band around both thighs, just above your knees.

  2. 2

    Set your feet wider than shoulder-width so the band pulls taut.

  3. 3

    Soften your knees, brace your core, flatten your back and look ahead.

  4. 4

    Push your hips back and lower into a squat while forcing your knees out against the band.

  5. 5

    Pause at the bottom with your weight spread evenly across both feet.

  6. 6

    Drive through your legs to stand back up, keeping tension on the band.
