Start the Band Squat to Row by wrapping a resistance band around a sturdy beam or pole. Take a few steps back to get some tension on the band. Keeping your chest tall and core tight, push your hips back, and squat down until your hips are at least parallel to the ground. Come back up by driving through your heels and hips. While you're coming back up, perform a row by pulling the band back with your elbows, as you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Straighten your arms fully before performing another rep. Complete as many sets as you can of 15 reps. If you have extra time, go for the gold, and push yourself!
