this is for any lower extremity closed chain movement/exercise..not just "squats"....

my leg exercises I shuffle and cycle thru:

leg press (double and single legs)
hack squats
reverse hack squats
dead lifts (usually with free weights, not a fan of using a straight bar)
split squat
lateral walks with resistance band
BOSU: squats and deadlights and split squats
plyometics: box jumps: double and single leg...

my cardio usually consists of medium paced long duration on the stair master rather than treadmill or cycle
I had to look some of those up. So you stand on a ball and squat one legged?
I'd recommend he masters the basic barbell lifts before trying anything else.
