The Push Up On Bosu Ball exercise is a challenging variation of the traditional push up that incorporates the use of a Bosu Ball, which is a half-sphere stability ball with a flat platform on the other side. This exercise adds instability to the movement, which requires more core engagement and balance.
How to perform
To perform a Push Up On Bosu Ball, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Place the Bosu Ball on the ground with the flat side facing up.
2. Get into a push up position with your hands shoulder-width apart on the edges of the flat platform of the Bosu Ball.
3. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
4. Lower your body down towards the Bosu Ball while keeping your elbows close to your body.
5. Push through your hands and exhale as you push yourself back up to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. To make this exercise more challenging, you can try elevating your feet on another Bosu Ball or placing your hands closer together.
Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise and adjust the difficulty as needed to suit your fitness level.
