12    GET IN SHAPE with EXERCISE BALL TRAINING




          4. Speed Skater Squat



























          Targets: Glutes and Legs

          Stand to the left side of the exercise ball.  Place your right foot on top of the ball,
          both legs straight.  Place your hands on your hips.  Bend the left knee and lunge
          to the left, pulling the ball slightly towards your bending leg as you do so.  Return
          to the starting position to finish one rep.

          As you practice, you should be able to get lower and lower into the squat for even
          more of a challenge.  Ready to bump the intensity up a notch? Try reaching your
          right hand to your left toes as you lunge.  (Remember, more challenge = more
          toned!)

          Do all of your reps on one side before switching legs to finish the set.
