How to Do Bosu Ball Push Ups

ALICE MONSAERT: Now, we're going to be doing pushups on the BOSU. Again, if you've noticed, we have the BOSU turn in its upside down position. You can do the pushups with the BOSU on the right side up, but we're going to place it in this position. Pushups are great, exercises for the pectoralis major, the anterior deltoid, and the triceps. They're not my favorite exercise but I have to put them into every training program because I need to get better at them and stronger. If you'll notice when the BOSU is in its upside down position, the little logo is right here that says BOSU. So, I like to tell my participants to place their hands on their BOSU right on the BOSU label. You want to bring your hips forward, and bring the chest close to the bosu and push up. Now, what makes this more challenging is that I got to stabilize this surface from moving when I'm doing that pushup. I can let my elbows go out wide or I can do more traditional like yoga pose with my elbows coming in closer to the side. A safety tip in a pushup is to not let the head drop down but to keep it in line with the spine and also to keep the abdominals pulled in tight instead of letting the belly sag out. So, everything has to be pulled in tight. And when you get very strong at doing pushups, of course, you can do them military. I can almost do one. But it's okay to do them on the knees. You're still getting the strength training that you need for that upper body and to make your arms look really very good.
