The plank with alt arm extension on BOSU uses the BOSU ball to raise your legs. This results in the body being more horizontal, demanding a bit more core strength than a pure high plank. The alternating arm extensions challenge your control over your balance.
HOW TO…
- First, get in a High Plank position with your feet on the BOSU ball like in the superman on BOSU.
- Now lift your right arm and extend it. Your body should be in a straight line from heels to hand.
- Keep facing down and keep your core tight to make sure your body stays straight.
- Hold for 3 seconds.
- Slowly lower the right arm back onto the floor.
- Repeat with the other arm to complete the plank with alt arm extension on BOSU.
Note: Make sure to position your feet as close together on the BOSU ball as possible.
Goal: Aim to perform the arm extension 10 times on each side before moving off the ball.
Variation: If the exercise is too difficult, start with only slightly lifting the arm of the floor without extending it. This way you can train yourself to keep your balance before doing the alternating arm extensions.
