A Different Stability Ball Squat!

Sorry...this is coming at the end of the day, better late than never.

Begin with your feet hip distance and parallel...hold your ball out in front of you at chest height with your arms extended. Bend your knees into a squat with an inhale of your breath and press through your feet to straighten your legs. Continue your squats for 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Things to remember: proper posture, core engagement, do not lower your bum past your knees, keep your knees pointed toward your toes (if you have a yoga block, squeeze it between your knees, it will keep them aligned), and keep your chest up, not breaking your torso at the waist.

Have fun!
