Push-ups with a BOSU ball take a classic bodyweight exercise to the next level by incorporating an element of instability. This variation engages the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core while improving balance and coordination. The BOSU ball can be used dome-side up or flat-side up to adjust the difficulty, making it suitable for different fitness levels.
To perform the exercise, place your hands on the BOSU ball and lower your chest toward it, keeping your core engaged and your body in a straight line. Push back up to the starting position while maintaining control. The instability of the BOSU ball activates stabilizing muscles, enhancing functional strength and joint stability. Push-ups with a BOSU ball are an excellent choice for improving upper body strength and dynamic balance.
