Squat with a Stability ball

egpa2unhdz Need to tone up your thighs with a little exercise at home or in the gym then look no further we have compiled 2 thigh exercises that you can do at home, in the gym or with a little help from some gym equipment. So here are our top upper leg exercises.

For this you will need some gym equipment in the shape of a large stability ball. If you don’t have one don’t worry we will show you how to get one delivered to your door.

How to do it.

  • What you do is put the ball between you and a wall and gently lean back with the ball centered at the curve of your back.
  • Then assume a sitting position making sure that your feet are about a shoulder width apart.
  • Now gently lower your knees a few inches and hold for count of 1-5. Then roll back up.
  • Best is to start with reps of about 5 and work your way up to 15. Then rest 40 seconds and repeat.

Plyometric Squat

No Equipment needed here just yourself and a bit of space. Great for getting a second breath of wind if you ever find your self nodding off in the afternoon as well.

  • Stand straight with your feet about a shoulders length apart and then just squat down bending your knees to a 90 degree angle. Hold it for a count of 5.
  • Now with all your power push up with your thighs and jump as high as you can landing gently into the Squating position. Use all the strength in your legs to push as fast and as hard as you can.
  • When landing soften by keeping you knees slightly bent. Make set of 3 and 8 reps.

Great hub Ivana! This is something that's so easy to do. It's something you could even do with little equipment and while at home.

Thanks for posting it!

p.s. More illustrative pictures (or even a video) might be nice too :)
