Wall Squat w/ Ball

Description/Instructions:

  1. Place an Exercise (Stability Ball) on your lower back against the wall.

  2. Your feet should be about 2-3 feet from the wall and about shoulder width apart.

  3. Drop your butt straight down into a squat while applying pressure to the ball against the wall.

  4. Try to get your hips to at least pass below your knees, then stand back up, again keeping pressure on the ball.

Helpful Cues:

  1. Keep pressure on the ball the whole time

  2. Don’t let your knees cave in. Push them out if needed.

  3. Keep your back perpendicular to the ground the whole time. Don’t move your hips backward.

  4. Position your feet far enough away from the wall so your knees don’t travel forward too much as you descend.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Not positioning the ball on your butt/lower back to start.

  2. Not applying pressure to the ball the whole time.

  3. Don’t lean forward. or move your hips back like a normal squat.
