Video coming soon...

The exercise ball overhead squat is a challenging workout that primarily targets the quads.

By using the exercise ball, it adds instability, forcing the quads to work harder for stability.

This exercise also engages the core muscles, but the main focus is on the quads.

It is important to maintain proper form and start with lighter weights to avoid injury.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding an exercise ball with both hands in front of your chest.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
Slowly lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, while keeping the exercise ball in front of your chest.
Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Pause for a moment, then push through your heels to return to the starting position, keeping the exercise ball in front of your chest throughout the movement.
Repeat the squat for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to maintain proper form by keeping your chest lifted, shoulders back, and knees aligned with your toes.

Position your exercise ball against a wall, ensuring it’s stable and won’t roll away. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward, and hold the exercise ball overhead with your arms fully extended.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Initiate the squat movement by bending your knees and lowering your body down as if you’re sitting back into a chair. Keep your weight on your heels and maintain a straight back, avoiding any rounding or arching.
As you descend into the squat, focus on actively engaging your quadriceps by pushing through your heels and driving your knees outward. This will help activate and strengthen your quads, leading to improved muscle development and stability.
Once you’ve reached the lowest point of your squat, pause for a moment, and then push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position. Remember to maintain control and avoid using momentum to complete the movement.
