Band Resisted Squats

One way to add some extra resistance to the bodyweight squat is by looping two 41 inch bands over your shoulders and pinning them underneath the opposite feet. As you rise up out of the squatting position the bands provide some progressively heavier resistance. This works well up to a point but with really thick bands you end up putting quite a lot of compressive through your spine and shoulders - so use with some caution!
