Modified BOSU Ball Plank on Yoga Mat

How to Modified BOSU Plank

You Should Feel This: Abs

Exercise Families: Plank

Equipment: BOSU Ball

Trainer: Ashley Steele

Steps:

  1. Kneel on a yoga mat or floor, and grab the sides of the BOSU Ball. Extend both legs behind you and elevate your hips off the mat, resting on the knees.

  2. Slowly shift your weight forward until your shoulders are positioned directly over your hands. Reposition the body as needed to allow full extension of the arms without any bend at the hips or knees. This is the starting position.

  3. Brace your abdominals and ensure that your hips are level to the ground with your spine in a neutral position. Hold this position for the specified amount of time, breathing deeply throughout.

  4. Planks primarily strengthen your core muscles including your transverse abdominus, rectus abdominals, and obliques; but because they involve your full body to hold the position, you also engage your arms, glutes, quads and more.
