The Squat Gauntlet — 7 Different Squats, 1 Grueling Workout
7. BOSU Ball Squats with a Medicine Ball Hold
2 sets — 15 reps, moderate weight
Rest — 45 seconds
Target muscles: Shoulders, Calves, Arms, Quads, Hamstrings, Butt
BOSU ball squats are one of the best exercises to build core stability and balance. The unstable surface of the BOSU ball adds an extra level of difficulty and requires a different type of muscle stimulation — stabilization. Because you’re off-balance, it’s difficult to derive power.
Grab a light-to-medium medicine ball and stand on top of the black side of a BOSU ball. This is the HARD side. Hold the medicine ball straight out in front of your chest and keep your arms locked throughout the set — these shouldn’t drop, droop, or sag whatsoever. This absolutely shreds the shoulders, biceps, and triceps and creates deep muscle definition.
While keeping your core tight and arms straight, slowly stick your butt out and descend until your quads are parallel with the floor. Hold for 2 seconds and return to the top. Repeat for 15 reps, rest 45 seconds, and complete your final set of the workout.
Exercise: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Recap
