ExercisesGeneral Training
Written By

Squatting while maintaining a bear hug creates a unique demand on the body. The arms work to keep the ball in position. The core and hips work to stay upright. This is a demanding and potent exercise for developing useable strength for the real world.

Cues:

  • Secure the D-Ball in a bear hug high on the chest

  • Squat straight down and stand straight up without leaning forward

Mistakes:

  • Leaning forward to lower into, or stand from the squat

  • Cradling the ball lower, or holding it on the stomach
