Exercise Description:
The Bosu ball seated wall squat is an isometric exercise that works the quads, glutes, and core. It is performed by standing on the Bosu ball with your back against a wall and your feet shoulder-width apart. You then lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Hold this position for a couple seconds(30 seconds to 1 minute), then come back up.
This exercise should be included in your routine because it is a great way to build strength and endurance in your lower body. It can also help to improve your balance and coordination. Additionally, the Bosu ball seated wall squat can help to prepare you for more challenging exercises, such as squats and lunges.
Proper form is important for this exercise to be effective and to avoid injury. Make sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. You should also keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees in line with your toes.
Here are some cues to help you maintain proper form:
- Keep your back straight.
- Engage your core.
- Keep your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your knees in line with your toes.
- Don't let your heels come off the ground.
If you are new to this exercise, start with a short hold time and gradually increase the hold time as you get stronger. You should also start with a light weight and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger.
