How to Do
How to Do Flipped Bosu Push Up on Single Leg
The flipped bosu push up on a single leg should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the flipped bosu push up on a single leg.
Beginning
Beginning Bosu Push Up
1. Place a Bosu ball so that the half-ball is facing down on the floor. Assume a push-up stance on the ball's platform with your hands on the sides. Your core and glutes should be braced.
2. Lower your body until your chest is almost in contact with the ball. Push yourself back to the starting position as quickly as possible after pausing.
Movement
Bosu Push Up Movement
1. Begin by coming into a push up position with your hands on the sides of a BOSU ball. Place your hands at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the BOSU ball.
2. Both of your feet will be straight behind you. One of your feet will be on your toes touching the ground while the other leg will still be extended straight behind you, about a foot in the air and off of the ground.
3. Complete a push up by bending with your elbows and bringing your body down slowly so that your arms form 90 degree angles.
4. Pause at the bottom for a brief second before pressing yourself back up to the starting position.
