Bosu Ball Squats

• Start by standing on the bosu ball with your feet shoulder width apart.
• Slowly lower yourself into the squat position without letting your knees move forward over your toes.
• Then slowly return to the starting position.
• This is a great whole body exercise to work your core as well as your hips, knees and ankles.
• If using a bosu ball is too difficult, the squats can be performed on a pillow to still allow for a balance component or just on the flat ground to begin with.
• Most athletic injuries involve weak stabiliser muscles, ligaments and connective tissues, which squats help strengthen. They also can help to prevent injuries by improving your flexibility and balance.
• Functional exercises are those that help your body perform real-life activities, squats are one of the best functional exercises out there.
