2. Wall Squat with Stability Ball: Target Thighs and Core
This variation of the squat incorporates an exercise ball, providing added support while engaging the thighs, glutes, and core.
How to Do It:
- Place an exercise ball against a wall and position it against the curve of your lower back.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Slowly bend your knees, lowering your body into a squat while maintaining balance.
- Hold the squat for 3-5 seconds before slowly returning to the starting position.
- Complete 3 sets of 10-15 reps.
Why It Works: This exercise not only tones your thighs but also helps improve posture and lower body endurance.
