Easy Home Exercise: Stability Ball Wall Squats

Stability Ball Wall Squats. This is a great alternative exercise to work the lower body without putting heavy resistance on your spine, hips, and knees. This exercise works all the major muscles in your legs. To perform this exercise correctly,

1. Start by putting the stability ball against the wall
2. Place the ball even with the arch in the lower back, and lean against ball. Make sure that the ball is not on the mid back.
3. Place feet about a foot away from the ball, shoulder width apart
4. Make sure that hips, knees, and toes are aligned
5. Place hands on hips
6. Slowly bend the knees and push the hips back, as if you were sitting down in a chair
7. Make sure to put the pressure on the heels
8. Come down to where the knees are in a 90 degree angle, pause, and return slowly to starting position
