BOSU Ball Dumbbell Overhead Press
Summary:
- Perform 2 sets of 8 reps
- Once again, slow steady motion is beneficial to building balance as well as strength
Lesson Description:
The BOSU Ball Dumbbell Overhead Press is another exercise that fully engages the core muscle group. As you will see it takes a great deal of concentration to keep your body stable while completing the dumbbell overhead presses.
To set up for the exercise, grab a dumbbell in each hand and step onto the ball placing your feet slightly off-center of the dome of the BOSU ball and slightly forward. Bring the dumbbell to shoulder height and squat down until the top of thigh is slightly above parallel. Try to consciously firm or flex your core muscles though out the exercise. Alternate the the overhead dumbbell presses from side to side throughout the exercise for a count of 6-8 reps per side.
This exercise places the core and thigh muscles in isometric contraction and further works the core through the instability induced by the overhead presses on the BOSU.
