-Superband Counterbalance Squats-
Many people have difficulty “sitting back” into squats. There are numerous reasons why this happens, but a common one is a lack of glute recruitment. A lot of people have “lazy butts,” lol! You HAVE to use your glutes in order to squat properly!
Try Counterbalance Squats with a Superband or JC Band. Because the band is providing a force that pulls you forward, you must sit back and counterbalance this, keeping chest up and shoulders back. Your core is working overtime to keep your torso up. There is a big emphasis on hip extension, which is something we could all use a little more of! Good stuff! 🙂
Great video. Glad to see someone else encouraging people to get outside and train…even in a unconventional way.
Great blog!
