- HOW: Anchor a band roughly knee height, and place the band around the back of your lower leg. You will then perform a squat while leaning into the band and keeping your trunk straight.

- COMPENSATION: Avoid leaning your trunk forward. The more you lean into the band the easier it will be to keep your trunk upright.
