How to: Band Squat Twist
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band tightly.
- Squat down, making sure your knees remain behind your toes.
- As you push back up, twist your torso to one side, engaging your obliques.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Perform for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting heels off the ground during the squat.
- Rushing through the motion without proper form.
- Failing to maintain a straight back while twisting.
Modifications
- Perform the squat without the band for reduced resistance.
- Use a chair for support if balance is an issue.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Ensure your knees don’t extend beyond your toes during the squat.
- Twist from your torso, not just your arms to maintain form.
