This exercise targets: hamstrings, quadriceps, inner thighs and glutes
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise ball
Place an exercise ball between your legs. Take a wide stance with your toes pointing out to the sides. Your back is straight, and your chest and head are up.
Slightly bend your knees and go down as you would sit on an exercise ball. Do not lower your weight completely on the ball, but keep it on your legs. At the lowest point of the exercise, your knees are forming a 90 degree angle. Do not let your knees go past your toes. Keep your chest and head high.
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. This is much safer for your knees and back.
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
