Air Squat - Band
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: In a standing position, loop a band around your legs right above the knees. Have your feet about shoulder width apart. Slightly push out against the band as you bend your knees, hinge at the hips, and squat down. Push into the ground and go back up to the starting position.
FEEL: You should feel your thigh and glute muscles working.
COMPENSATION: Don’t let your knees cave in as you squat down, push out slightly on the band. Keep your chest up, don’t hinge too far forward.
