| Physioball Squats |
|
|
Place physioball against wall as shown in the photo. Now, place your lower back against the ball and place your feet out in front of you as shown. When you come down to squat don't let your knees come over your toes so you may have to adjust and play around till you get in the right position. Also, your knees should be right above your heels. Now, squat down and come all the way down until your thighs are parallel to the floor - 90 degree angle. Then push back up and repeat. This exercise can also be used with weights - dumbbells in each hand to provide more resistance.
