Keep your heels firmly on the ground. Hold the ball in front of you at chest level. Slowly bend your knees and lower yourself pushing your butt back as if you were about to sit on a chair. Slowly raise yourself again, pressing the ball above your head. While you squat, try to keep your back as straight as possible. To avoid straining your knees, don%u2019t let them go past your toes. Widen your stance if this proves difficult. The two point perch is a balancing exercise that forces you to stabilize through your glutes, hips and core. Climb on top of the ball and try to maintain balance. Brace yourself against a wall until you%u2019re able to balance on your own.Keep your eyes focused on an object in front of you to maintain balance. Once you%u2019ve mastered this, try throwing a ball back and forth with a partner or against a wall.
