Tutorial

1

Position a short Theraband around your thighs, just above your knees. Stand slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and squat down slightly so that the Theraband is slightly taut. This is your starting position.
2

Move your left leg as far to the left as you can and touch the floor with the tips of your toes. Then bring your left leg back to the starting position.
3

Then perform the movement with your right leg.
4

One repetition to the left and right has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Position the band on your thighs, just above your knees. Stay in a slight squat position throughout the exercise and make sure you breathe evenly. You can place your arms in front of your body to make it easier to keep your balance.
