Plank Push-ups on Inverted BOSU Ball

The addition of the inverted BOSU ball to your regular push-up routine adds the element of instability and leads to increased activation of the core muscle group.   The side-to-side motion induced by the BOSU Ball and maintaning the body in the plank position throughout the push-up will hyper-stimulate the abdominal core muscles.

To complete the Inverted BOSU Ball Push Up, tart by turning the BOSU ball over such that the dome side faces down.  From a kneeling position place the hands on opposite sides of ball and firmly grasp the edge of the base.  Push the arms out straight and keep the shoulders, hips and fee all in a single plane (plank position).  Complete a set of 15 push-ups with a slight pause at the bottom of each repetition.   Use a slow deliberate motion both when lowering your chest to the ball as well as when pressing the arms straight.
