#Info – Medicine Ball Squat
The Medicine Ball Squat is a versatile exercise that targets the lower body and core. To maximize benefits, maintain proper form: keep your chest up, back straight, and knees aligned with toes. Avoid rounding your back or letting knees cave inward. Beginners can start with a lighter ball and focus on form, while advanced users can increase ball weight for added resistance. Incorporate pauses or pulses at the bottom for intensity. This exercise enhances strength, balance, and coordination. It can be integrated into circuit training or used as a warm-up for more complex movements.
