Isometric Pallof Squat

Exercise Overview

This exercise’s goal is to strengthen your core stability while doing compounds movements like the squat. This exercise is also great for correcting a hip shift during a squat - a movement compensation that can stem from the lower kinetic chain or from weak core stability. To correct a hip shift place the band next to you on the opposite side of the direction you tend to shift towards. For general core stability training, do this exercise with the band alternating on each side (alternate with sets not repetitions).
