Band Squat Press - work your quads, glutes, core & shoulders

This one exercise works multiple body parts very effectively and allows you to stretch your shoulders and open up your chest while completing it.

The band squat press strengthens your quads (front top of your leg), glutes (your butt muscles), core (abdominal muscles) and your middle deltoids (shoulders).

It should feel challenging, but not so much that you struggle to maintain good form and/or you don’t feel like you can get a good stretch at the top of the press.

It’s also important to make sure that your hands are wide enough so that you can open up the band at the top of your press and let your shoulder blades drop down and relax.

Knees and elbows are soft (have a slight bend in them) at the top of the movement.

Bands are an excellent strength training tool because they are easier on our joints (which is important as we continue to age well), they’re inexpensive, versatile and you can easily bring them with you when traveling (or waiting to play pickleball).

If you have any trouble lifting your hands over your head, do not complete this exercise, and as always, there should be no pain.
