Stability Ball Exericse
Squats with a Stability Ball
- Stand with the exercise ball propped between your lower (lumbar) spine and a wall, pressing slightly into the ball. With hands at your sides or on hips, check that your feet are hip-width apart and slightly in front of you.
- Bending at your knees and hips, slowly move into a sitting position with your knees over your ankles. Keep the ball in contact with your back as you move.
- Return to standing position, keeping the ball in contact with your back as you move.
Repeat 8-15 times.
Make it Challenging!!! Lift one foot 1 or 2 inches off the floor and try doing the exercise with one leg at a time. Switch and repeat with the other leg.
