Balance Trainer Squat

Intermediate Exercise Ball GlutesQuadriceps

How to do it

  1. Place a balance trainer (such as a BOSU ball) flat side down on the floor. Carefully step onto the dome side with both feet positioned shoulder width apart. Stabilize yourself before beginning the movement. This will be your starting position.
  2. Begin the movement by bending at the knees and hips, lowering your body as if sitting into a chair. Keep your head up, back straight, and chest out. Inhale as you lower yourself.
  3. Continue down until your thighs are parallel to the floor or as low as you can comfortably go while maintaining balance. Tip: Focus on keeping your weight centered on the balance trainer.
  4. As you exhale, push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and hips.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
