HOW TO DO IT
1. Position a stability ball between the small of your back and the wall.
2. Gently lean against the stability ball as you maintain contact with the arch of your back.
3. Stand with your feet shoulder with apart and about 6-12 inches in front of your body.
4. Point your toes straight ahead or turn them slightly outward.
5. Lift one foot 4-6 inches off the ground and place the sole of your foot against the wall behind you.
6. Keep your weight on the heel of the foot that is on the floor.
7. While inhaling, slowly lower your hips toward the floor until they reach knee height.
8. Exhale and return to starting position.
Complete 8-12 reps on each side before changing to the other side. Complete 1-3 sets.
BENEFITS
The single leg stability ball wall squat takes you even further than the stability ball wall squat by adding a balance challenge.

Test your improvement with a game of hop scotch with your children or sail around the roller skating rink with finesse.
