DB Split Squat
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Step forward with your right leg, taking a slightly larger than normal step.
• Press the front of your back foot (left foot) into the ground and use it to help keep your balance. The left knee should also be bent.
• Contract your glutes, brace your abs and keep your spine in a neutral position.
• Lower your body until your right thigh is parallel to the ground.
• Keep your upper body upright and your lower back flat.
• Push up to the upright position, but don’t step back. Stay in a split-squat stance.
• Perform all reps for one leg and then switch.



Stability Ball Leg Curl
• Lie on your back with the soles of your feet on a medium-sized Stability Ball.
• Brace your abs, and contract your glutes (butt muscles) as if you were squeezing something between your cheeks. Bridge your hips up by contracting your glutes.
• Keep your abs braced and contract your hamstrings and slowly curl the ball back towards your hips while keeping your hips bridged.
• Pause and slowly return the ball to the start position while keeping the hips bridged.
