For this exercise, you will need: an exercise ball
Take a shoulder-width stance and place an exercise ball between your legs. Stand with your back straight.
Lower your body into a sitting position on your exercise ball and slightly bend your knees. Do not lower your weight completely on the ball, but keep it on your legs and do not let your knees go past your toes. Keep your chest and head up high. At the lowest point of the exercise, your knees are forming a 90 degree angle.
Tips:
You can perform this exercise with or without weights.
If you don’t have an exercise ball, you can use a chair.
Push your knees out and never allow your knees to buckle in on the way up, to avoid knee and back injuries.
Always start the squat by sitting back first before you bend your knees. Think of sitting on a chair.
Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up.
Beginners: 10 repetitions
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions
Advanced level: 20 repetitions
