Day 109 – Side Plank on BOSU

Side Plank on BOSU

Side Plank on BOSU

Remember the Side Plank on day 14? Today we will do the same with a BOSU balance trainer. Train your core and neck muscles.

HOW TO…

  1. Position yourself in a Forearm Plank on the BOSU.
  2. Slowly turn to your right side by… (a) turning your left arm to the right, (b) stacking your right leg on top of your left leg, and (c) placing your right hand alongside your body.
  3. Ensure that your hips are NOT sagging or lowering to the ground. Your body should form a straight line from your heels to your head. Face sideways and keep your neck straight.
  4. Hold for a second, and then slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Switch sides.

Note: Even though we are using a BOSU, the exercise is actually slightly easier than the regular side plank. Since the BOSU adds some elevation, the angle of your body is easier to maintain.

Progression: Perform alternating side planks up to 10 times on each side. To increase the difficulty, keep the side plank on BOSU position for 5 seconds on each side before switching.

Variation: Too difficult? Start with doing the exercise in a High Plank position.
