Video Transcript

"This functional core exercise using the Bosu is called the bridge. We're really going to work those abdominals, the lower back and the glutes on this exercise, and we have a couple of variations depending on your fitness level. So come on down to the floor, place your feet on top of the dome, and your feet are about hip-width apart. Lower your arms down alongside your body and inhale through your nose to prepare. Exhale, start with your tail bone and peel up one vertebrae at a time. Really push through those feet and let that resonate all the way to your glutes, and then lower down one vertebra at a time. Inhale to prepare, exhale, and roll up. Now, here's where you can add intensity. Shift your feet, find your balance and extend one leg up and lower down. So you can really focus on one leg at a time. 30 seconds to a minute on each leg and then switch sides. That is your bridge on the Bosu."
