Name: Split Squat

Purpose: Strengthen the muscles of the legs and improve balance & stability.


Starting Position: Start balanced on a single leg with the toe of your free leg rested on the top of the stability ball. Remain tall in your upper body throughout the movement.

After squatting down as far as possible while maintaining a tall posture in your upper body, roll the ball back to the starting position.

 


Regression: Complete the exercise near a wall and use the wall for support only when needed.
