Aquaball Squat Shouldering Explosive (alternating) Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the aquaball in front of your chest with both hands.
  2. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.
  3. As you reach the bottom of the squat, explosively push through your heels to jump up, extending your hips, knees, and ankles.
  4. While in mid-air, quickly release the aquaball from your chest and catch it with your other hand, switching the hand position.
  5. Land softly back into the squat position, absorbing the impact by bending your knees and hips.
  6. Repeat the explosive jump, releasing and catching the aquaball with each repetition, alternating the hand position each time.
  7. Continue the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Aquaball Squat Shouldering Explosive (alternating) Tips

  1. Engage your lower back by maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the exercise. Imagine a string pulling your belly button towards your spine, activating your deep abdominal muscles.
  2. Focus on your calves by driving through your toes as you explosively lift the aquaball from the squat position. This will help you generate power and engage the muscles in your lower legs.
  3. Shoulder the aquaball with proper form by keeping your elbows high and close to your body. This will activate your deltoids and upper back muscles, ensuring a balanced and controlled movement.
  4. Activate your quads by sinking into a deep squat position, ensuring your thighs are parallel to the ground. Push through your heels as you explode upwards, feeling the burn in your quadriceps.
  5. Maximize glute engagement by focusing on the squeeze at the top of the movement. As you lift the aquaball, contract your glutes and hold for a second before descending back into the squat position. This will help build strong and toned glute muscles.
