Bosu Ball Core Exercises: Reverse Plank

Video Transcript

"This next functional core exercise using the Bosu is called the reverse plank. Now the great thing about the Bosu is you've got two levels of difficulty, so let's start off with the easier one. So you come around onto the Bosu, place your hands about hip-width apart and just gently step off, lift your hips up, pull your shoulder blades back and then just tilt your head back so that your head, neck and spine are in alignment. Now really think about lifting up through your core. Squeeze your glutes. This is also great for those triceps. Once you've mastered this position, then you can move onto the next level. So just come off and flip your Bosu over. Find your balance point. Now this may take you a little while so you might want to sit up on the Bosu, extend your legs, move off the Bosu lifting your hips, lift your chest, tilt your head back and your Bosu may wibble-wobble all over the place, but that's great because you have to use your center to stabilize. Breathe in through your nose out through your mouth, and you can hold this position for about 30 seconds to a minute. When you're finished, simply just lower your hips down and rest. That is the reverse plank on this wibble-wobby Bosu."
