Band Squats for Hip Abduction

A large number of people that squat; beginners and many females, have the problem of “knees collapsing”, or doing in during the squat movement. To help teach groove gluteal-dominant activation patterns – which will help improve squat performance.

SImple, get small bands (therabands that can be tied together – or connection bands) and place around the knees. As you go into a squat position, think of keeping tension on the band at all times – facilitating hip adduction during the movement.

Do your normal squat routine – but remember that you will feel this through the glutes.
