Exercise Profile

Bosu Push-up Overview

The bosu push-up workout is a chest-focused exercise that utilizes the bosu ball.

The bosu ball adds instability, forcing the chest muscles to work harder for stability.

By engaging the chest muscles, the bosu push-up helps in building upper body strength.

While other muscles like the shoulders and triceps are also involved, the focus remains on the chest.

Bosu Push-up Instructions

  1. Start by placing the bosu ball flat side down on the floor.
  2. Position yourself on your hands and knees in front of the bosu, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the bosu.
  3. Extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet, so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.
  4. Engage your core muscles and lower your body towards the bosu by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
  5. Continue lowering your body until your chest touches the bosu, or you reach a comfortable depth.
  6. Push through your hands and extend your arms to raise your body back to the starting position, keeping your body in a straight line throughout the movement.
  7. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Bosu Push-up Tips

  1. Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the bosu, ensuring your fingers are spread wide for maximum stability and engagement of the chest muscles.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your navel towards your spine, creating a strong and stable foundation for the exercise.
  3. Lower your body towards the bosu by bending your elbows, keeping them at a 45-degree angle to your body. Focus on maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels, avoiding any sagging or arching of the back.
  4. As you push back up, imagine pushing the bosu away from you, keeping your elbows slightly bent to maintain tension in the chest muscles throughout the movement.
  5. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower your body and exhaling as you push back up. Visualize the oxygen fueling your muscles, helping you to power through each repetition with strength and determination.
