"In this segment with the stability ball we're going to be incorporating a squat. Squatting side to side, holding the ball out in front of you, soft elbows, about chest level.

You can also do this just in-place squat. You can also do the squat by rolling the ball forward to squatting side to side, pressing the ball forward. Again any constant movement where you can squat and move your ball side to side or move the ball in the air to increase your cardio vascular exercise as well as you eye hand coordination; or stay in a squat, add a couple of balances or squats, add some dribble or a catch. In these next segments if you can incorporate them and link them together you can get a great cardio vascular workout with your stability ball."
