Exercise Profile

Bosu Plank Overview

The bosu plank workout is a core-strengthening exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

By performing planks on the bosu, the unstable surface forces the abs to work harder for stability.

Engaging the abs throughout the exercise helps to improve core strength, stability, and balance.

While the bosu plank also activates other muscles, its main focus is on the abdominal muscles.

Bosu Plank Instructions

  1. Start by placing the bosu on the floor with the flat side up.
  2. Position yourself on your forearms and toes, facing down towards the bosu.
  3. Place your forearms on the bosu, ensuring that your elbows are directly under your shoulders.
  4. Engage your core muscles and lift your body off the floor, forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
  5. Hold this position for the desired amount of time, keeping your body stable and your hips level.
  6. Lower your body back down to the starting position, maintaining control and avoiding any excessive movement.
  7. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Bosu Plank Tips

  1. Position the bosu ball with the flat side down and place your forearms on the center of the ball, ensuring that your elbows are directly below your shoulders. Keep your palms flat on the floor, fingers pointing forward, and your body in a straight line from head to toe.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. Imagine creating a strong, stable foundation with your abs, as if they were a corset cinching your waist. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent your lower back from sagging.
  3. Focus on your breathing throughout the exercise. Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding your ribcage, and exhale fully through your mouth, drawing your navel towards your spine. This controlled breathing will not only provide oxygen to your muscles but also enhance your mind-body connection, allowing you to fully engage your abs.
  4. Maintain a neutral neck position by looking down towards the floor, keeping your head aligned with your spine. Avoid straining your neck or looking up, as this can cause unnecessary tension and compromise your form.
  5. Challenge yourself by gradually increasing the duration of your bosu plank. Start with holding the position for 20 seconds and aim to work your way up to a minute or longer. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient with yourself and celebrate each
