Day 105 – High Plank on BOSU

HOW TO…

1. Get on your knees on the ground with the BOSU balance trainer in front of you.
2. Lower your upper body, and place your hands on the BOSU. Postion your hands below your shoulders, not to close together.
3. Now bring up your knees while leaning on your toes and hands. Look downward at the BOSU.
4. Tighten your core to keep your body straight. Your arms should be close to 90 degrees with your body. If your arms are too vertical, the core exercise is less efficient as you lean on your shoulders too much.
5. Keep the position for a few seconds and then lower your knees back down.

Note: Make sure not to inflate the BOSU too much, as it will make it more difficult to keep your hands on the BOSU (they will more eassily slide off).

Progression: Hold the high plank on BOSU postion as long as possible. Build it up to 30 seconds.

Challenge: Hold the high plank on BOSU for 30 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and then repeat two more times. Make sure to regulate your breathing in the resting period!
