Swiss Ball Squat | Thrive Personal Training

Instructions

Position a swiss ball against a wall and place the hollow of your back against the ball. Bring your legs out in front of you on a slight angle so that your body is leaning against the ball and place your hands on your hips. Place your feet approximately shoulder width apart and your feet out at a slight angle. Keeping your eyes up and knees flared, squat down by bending at the knees and bringing your hips back and down so that you are pushing your glutes back in towards the ball. Descend until your thighs are just past parallel to the floor. Ascend by extending knees and hips until your legs are straight, whilst still pushing your glutes back in to the ball.

Tip

This is a great exercise when first being introduced to squats.
