INSTRUCTIONSStart with feet hip-width apart and parallel. Don't lean into the ball and keep your feet facing forward (not pointing outwards). Place the ball on the outside of the knee so it is snug against the wall. Then stand on the outside leg and bend the inside knee and the keep your opposite hip higher. Again don't lean into the ball, aim to and push your knee into ball to keep yourself upright. To perform the squat, make sure you move your hips backwards and let your knee bend - aim to bend at the hip and knee together. Don't let you knee roll in or opposite hip drop down, aim to keep both knees even. Focus on knee and hip alignment. You need to really think about sitting backwards, not just pushing your knee forward. |

SPECIAL NOTESALTERNATIVE: Use a pilates ball, rolled towel or pillow to push against, otherwise just push your knee to the wall. |
