Bosu Ball Pushups are more effective than standard pushups that strengthen the chest, shoulders, and triceps. These are great pushups that help you to develop stronger core muscles than regular pushups and also build stability.
Instructions
- Place the bosu ball on the floor with half of the ball facing down. Get into a push-up position with your hands on the sides of the ball platform. Brace your core and glutes.
- Lower your body until your chest almost touches the ball. Pause, and then return to the starting position as quickly as possible.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and core tight throughout the movement.
- Fully extend your arms at the top of the push-up.
- Don't allow your elbows to flare out to the sides.
