Squats are the best exercise for bump and thigh stress. Take the dumbbells in hand. From a standing position, move your right foot forward. We sit so that the left knee touches the floor and the angle of the right knee joint is at least 90 degrees (this is a safe angle when loading the knee joint). We repeat the turn for both feet 13 times.
Next, we start the ball. The best exercise with the ball that trains all the muscle groups in our body is the "plane on the ball".

Plane on the ball: Place the ball on a flat surface. Lie on your stomach on the ball, with your hands and feet on the floor.
As soon as you feel comfortable, try to lift your arms and legs off the floor at the same time. In this case, it is important that the whole body and limbs are at the same level. We hold this position for about 30 seconds.
