Leg Strength: "BOSU/Reebok Core Board Squats"

These squats require more core & hip stability.

Directions: Perform my Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

1. Stand upright on apparatus with feet shoulder width or wider.

2. Carefully drop into the squat keeping knees back behind toes.

Tips: Most people cannot even do a clean body weight squat so have no business doing a BOSU or Core Board Squat.  I hestitate to put this section up because using this type of equipment has become "trendy" if not dangerous with a lot of moron trainers.  There are progressions with all fitness exercises--especially squats.  Master your body weight on a static unmoving surface before moving onto an appartus.  If you can control them, the BOSU and Core Board are great stability challenges that will add a lot of variety to your leg routine.

• Great for extreme sports that require dynamic balance on unstable surfaces like skating, surfing, snowboarding, and skiing.

• Remember to set Core Board resistance and challenge level by adjusting handle under platform.

*Note: These exercises are intended for "normal healthy" individuals and many are only intended for competitive athletes. 
If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present, see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
