Tired of doing the same old push-ups? While they’re a great traditional exercise, it can get boring doing the same thing all the time. If you’re looking for a challenge, try this variation called the bosu ball push-up!
How to Do the Bosu Ball Push-Up
Flip the bosu ball so that the ball side is on the ground. Place each hand on the sides of the bosu ball. Start on your knees then place both feet behind you. While squeezing your glutes, abs, and quads to keep you straight, slowly bend you arms and lower yourself down till your elbows are at a 90 degree angle and push up. Repeat.
This exercise is great for strengthening your arms and chest, while helping you improve your balance.
