Pattern

Squat

Setup

  1. 01Place the Bosu dome side up on a flat, non-slip floor.
  2. 02Step onto the dome one foot at a time, feet about shoulder width.
  3. 03Find balance with a soft knee bend before starting any reps.
  4. 04Hold the arms out in front as a counterbalance.

Execution

  1. 01Brace and sit the hips back and down slowly.
  2. 02Squat to a depth you can control without the dome wobbling wildly.
  3. 03Pause briefly at the bottom to own the position.
  4. 04Stand back up through the whole foot and re-settle before the next rep.

Checkpoints

  • -Feet stay quiet on the dome, gripping rather than shuffling.
  • -Knees track over the toes despite the unstable surface.
  • -The descent is slow and deliberate, not a drop.
  • -Balance is recovered fully between reps.

Common mistakes

  • -Squatting too deep too soon and falling off the dome.
  • -Looking down at the feet instead of ahead.
  • -Letting the knees wobble inward as the surface shifts.
  • -Treating it as a strength exercise and chasing load.

Programming notes

  • -Use 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 slow reps as balance or rehab work.
  • -Place it early in a session while the ankles are fresh.
  • -For actual leg strength, load a stable squat instead; this is a stability drill.
