Conseils techniques
Stand on the band with feet shoulder-width apart. The band should be under the middle of your feet to ensure it doesn't slip. Hold the ends of the band at shoulder level with palms facing forward. This is your starting position.
Keep your chest up, back straight, and abs tight throughout the movement. When you squat down, make sure your knees don't go beyond your toes, which is a common mistake that can lead to injury. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor in the bottom position.
Avoid rushing the exercise. Lower your body in a controlled manner and hold for a second at the bottom of the squat.
