Stability Ball Squat

This is a safe, easy exercise that can be done almost anywhere. The SB squat works the glutes and quads. Use a 55-65cm SB.

  • Place SB in the small of the back.
  • Feet are slightly wider than the hips and in front of the knees.
  • Back is parallel to the wall.
  • Hands to the side.
  • Lower hips towards the floor as if sitting in a chair.
  • Knees should stay over ankles.
  • Bring thighs parallel to the floor.
  • Movement should be smooth.  Ball should not bounce.
  • If the knees go past the toes, then move the feet further out.
