Exercise Description

The split squat with banded adduction builds single-leg strength while targeting your inner thighs. It improves balance and hits multiple muscle groups at once.

How To

1. Place resistance band around both legs just above your knees and step into split squat position with one foot forward 2. Lower your body by bending both knees, keeping most weight on your front leg while maintaining band tension 3. Push through your front heel to return to starting position, fighting against the band's resistance throughout the split squat movement 4. Keep your torso upright and core engaged as you perform each rep of the split squat with banded adduction 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching legs and repeating the split squat pattern

Form Tips

• Keep constant tension on the band throughout the entire split squat with banded adduction movement • Don't let your front knee cave inward - push out against the band resistance • Land softly on your back toe, not your heel, during the split squat with banded adduction • Keep 70% of your weight on your front leg throughout the movement

Common Mistakes

• Letting the band go slack during the split squat with banded adduction - maintain tension the whole time • Placing too much weight on the back leg instead of using it just for balance • Allowing the front knee to collapse inward during the split squat with banded adduction movement
