Bala Beam Exercise: Squat

  • Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes pointed out slightly. Place the Bala Beam on your shoulders, so the center curve hugs the back of your neck, holding the straight ends on either side. For a variation, you can also hold the Bala Beam in front of your chest. This is the starting position.
  • Bend your knees and lower your hips into a squat, keeping the chest lifted.
  • Straighten your legs to return to the starting position.
  • Do 10 reps.
