Medicine Ball Squat

IntermediateMedicine ball

A squat performed while holding a medicine ball at chest height. The front-loaded weight bumps up the difficulty and forces extra core engagement to stay upright, making it a simple way to add challenge and improve balance in your squat.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet roughly shoulder-width apart or a touch wider, knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Hold the medicine ball in both hands at chest level.

  3. 3

    Hinge at your hips, then bend your knees to sink into the squat.

  4. 4

    Pause briefly at the bottom with your core tight to protect your lower back.

  5. 5

    Drive your hips up and forward using your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.

  6. 6

    Stand tall with your chest up and knees behind your toes.
