"O'kay this clip is the reach and squat. So what you are going to do is you are going to grab your stability ball on either side, firmly between both hands. Have your feet a little further than shoulder width apart and toes slightly pointed to the corners of the room. You are going to take your ball and reach down and sit it back and pull up on the toes. O'kay, reach down, sit it back down into a semi-squat position, keep the back and shoulder straight and reach. Make sure the knees don't go forward to the toes, back stays straight, shoulders back and you are going to reach. This is also a good exercise if you are stretching for a work out as well as strengthening and toning the gluts and the quads. It is going to be nice and slow and controlled and come up on the toes, now don't forget to breath. Sit it back and reach up on your toes. This will also help with your balance if you have issues with your balance."
