Band Squat

Squat with a resistance band looped under your feet and over your shoulders. Adds resistance to bodyweight squats. Adds meaningful resistance to bodyweight squats at home. Band resistance increases through the range — matches your strength curve. Portable — full leg workout while traveling.

How to Do Band Squat: Step by Step

  1. Stand on band, loop over shoulders
  2. Squat down keeping chest up
  3. Drive through heels to stand against band resistance
  4. Full range of motion — thighs parallel or below

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Band slipping off shoulders mid-rep
  • Not standing on the band evenly
  • Cutting depth short due to band tension

Band Squat Tips

  • The band adds 'accommodating resistance' — harder at the top, easier at the bottom
  • Use a looped band (not a tube band) for better stability on the shoulders
  • Great for home workouts when you don't have weights
