The band squat row is a compound exercise that targets the glutes while also engaging the hamstrings, quadriceps, and back. It combines a squat with a rowing motion using a resistance band, making it effective for both lower and upper body strength.

How do you perform this exercise?

  1. Attach the band to a sturdy anchor point at waist height.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  3. Hold the band handles with your palms facing each other and your arms extended in front of you.
  4. Bend your knees and lower into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.
  5. From the squat position, pull the band handles towards your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  6. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
