How to Perform a W Exercise on a Bosu Ball

The "W' is a good shoulder exercise that builds strengths in your rotator cuffs and deltoids. Doing the exercise on a Bosu Ball builds core strength and balance too. This exercise can be done with two feet or on one leg.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pair of light dumbbells

1. Stand on the blue side of a Bosu Ball with your feet hip-width apart. Hold your arms up slightly above your shoulders with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your elbows and face your palms forward.

2. Inhale and rotate your arms down as far as you can comfortably go.

3. Hold this palms-down position for two seconds.

4. Exhale and rotate your arms back up to the start position.

5. Do 12 to 15 reps.

Tips & Warnings

• Use light weights. The tendons in your shoulders can be easily overworked.
• Do not try to rotate farther than your comfortable capacity. You could hurt yourself.
