The handout is very helpful. Thanks so much for posting the .pdf version!

About the first resistance exercise, “Squat with Band Around Knees”: The “exercise picture” (for the unmodified exercise) shows a different foot position in the squat position compared to the starting position. (Wider stance and feet pointing outward in the squat; narrower stance and feet straight ahead at the start.) Is this intentional? If not, which stance do you recommend?

Also and possibly relatedly, what is the purpose of the band around the knees in this exercise? Is it intended as an aid to maintaining proper form (knee position), or are we meant to be attempting to stretch the band, as part of the exercise?

Thank you!
