Push Ups on the BOSU

[Fitnessdotcom]

by explosion: link Flip the BOSU over so that the black side is facing upwards. Start in the push up position with your hands directly below your shoulders, and your neck, torso, and legs forming a straight line. Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and avoid letting your hips drop.

Maintain the straight line with your body as you bend your elbows and then push yourself back up. Inhale as you bend your elbows, exhale as you push up to the start position.

Repeat as many times as you can do with proper form. Rest, then repeat as desired.

Hi,

One of the fitness benefits of the bosu push up is that you not only work your arms, as you would with a classic push up, but you also get your core muscles and stabilizers involved. This includes your “abs†or abdominal muscles, as well as some of the muscle groups that support your spine. You’ll probably be able to feel a lot of these muscles at work while you struggle to maintain balance while pushing yourself up on these unstable surfaces.

The bosu push up is a great exercise that strengthens and tones muscles in the chest, arms, and core. A bosu is a piece of exercise equipment that is composed of half a blue stability ball fused to a black plastic bottom.
