How to Bosu Ball One Leg Squat

Starting Position

1. Please place one foot on the balance ball dome.

2. Slightly lift the other leg either in front or behind to maintain balance.

3. Extend your hands to your waist or forward to assist with your center of gravity.

Proper Form

1. Bend the knee of the supporting leg and slowly lower yourself by pushing your hips back.

2. After going down as far as possible, rise up by pressing through your heels.

3. After the designated number of repetitions, repeat the same on the opposite leg.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. At first, please focus on maintaining balance rather than depth.

2. Since there is a risk of falling, it's safer to start with something nearby to hold onto.

3. Please keep checking to ensure your knees do not cave inward.
