Description:	Create a closed loop band (i.e. place a knot in the band) at a length that is snug when the client's knees are close together. This closed loop band can be created first and then have the client carefully step into the loop and move it into position around the knees OR have the client sit down on a chair/bench and tie the knot while the band is in place. The band should be placed just above the knee.  Special caution should be taken so that the band does not ride up or down and/or rub harshly on the ski.  Therabend works the best to avoid this. Assume a normal foot (approx. or slightly wider than shoulder width) squatting position, however, first engage hip abductors with a special focus on glut activation to abduct the hips so that the knees are aligned with the feet.  This will require an isometric contraction to hold the knees in proper alignment. While holding hip abduction complete a squat using proper form.
Common Error(s):	Valgus knees
Spotting:	Spotting Squats
