Bosu Ball Single Leg Squat
The Bosu Ball Single Leg Squat enhances balance and stability while strengthening the lower body.
- Stand on one leg on the flat side of the Bosu ball.
- Lower your body into a squat, keeping your knee aligned with your toes.
- Push through your heel to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
How to perform the Bosu Ball Single Leg Squat
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Bosu Ball Single Leg Squat using your bosu ball.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
