Description

The squat is one of the basic exercises. It mainly trains the buttocks and the front of the thighs, but also works the remaining muscles of the legs for stabilization. The core muscles are also stressed. In the static version, you get into the lower squat position and hold it for the specified time. You only need a short Theraband for this exercise and can do it at home or in the gym.

Tutorial

1

Position a short Theraband around your thighs, just above your knees. Stand slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and point your toes slightly outwards. Hold your arms in front of your body.
2

Squat down so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and tighten your core and leg muscles.
3

Hold the position until you have reached the specified time.

Tip

Try to keep your upper body as upright as possible without letting your heels leave the floor. Keep your core and leg muscles tensed throughout the exercise and don't forget to breathe evenly.
