How to Weighted Bosu Ball Squat

Starting Position

1. Stand on the stability ball with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Lightly hold dumbbells or kettlebells in both hands, positioning them in front of your chest or beside your body.

3. Engage your core and keep your gaze straight ahead.

Proper Form

1. Please push your hips back and bend your knees to slowly lower yourself down.

2. When your thighs are close to parallel with the floor, press down on the stability ball with the soles of your feet and rise up.

3. Throughout the movement, keep your chest open so that your upper body does not lean excessively forward.

Breathing Technique

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

Precautions

1. Please start with a much lighter weight than flat squats.

2. If your balance is shaky, first lower the weight and practice with just your body.

3. Frequently check your foot position to ensure you don't stray from the center of the stability ball.
