Here’s a variation of a standard squat.  Begin by holding a kettle bell in each hand.  Curl the weights until they reach the shoulder.  Make sure to keep your arms and elbows close to your body.  Now tighten up your abs and slowly step onto a bosu ball.  Your feet should be shoulders width apart and your abs should be tight as you bend your knees to slowly do a squat.  Squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground.  Now slowly come back to a standing position.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 12 repetitions.

Here’s an exercise that can be done on a balance board, using a kettle bell.  Begin the exercise by tightening up your abs.  Bend at your waist and lift the kettle bell from the floor using your left hand.  Keep your abs tight and come to a standing position.  Carefully step onto your balance board and place your right arm out at your side.  Your feet should be shoulders width apart as you bend at your knees to do a squat.  Bend low enough to where your thighs are parallel to the ground as you let the weight fall to the level of your knees.  Now, as you come to a standing position, lift the weight straight in front of you to where it is at eye level.  Be sure to squeeze your abs, glutes and thighs to keep your balance and to protect your back.  Do the movement very slowly in order to control your form.  Repeat for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each arm) to start.
