BOSU Forearm Plank: With the BOSU placed directly in front of you place your forearms on the top of the BOSU (center of the dome) and get into plank position. Keep your shoulders over your elbows while keeping your butt down, your body should be in a straight alignment from head to heels. Hold this position for one minute.

Oblique Crunch on the BOSU: Have the BOSU facing round side up; place your hip on the lower portion of the BOSU close to the base. Keep your knee down on the floor; your body should be on top so that it curves on the ball. Keeping the lower leg bent and top leg extended bring your rib cage to hip with both hands behind your head. To modify this move keep your forearm on the opposite side of the BOSU on the ground and only keep one hand behind the head as you come up. Perform this exercise for 3 sets of 15 reps on each side and work your way up.

BOSU Bicep Curl: You will need 5-8lb dumbbells for this exercise; you can go heavier depending on your strength level. With your feet placed in the center of the dome perform slow and controlled bicep curls. For an extra challenge you can move your feet slightly to one side of the BOSU, perform bicep curls while extending your leg to side. Replicate this on each side. Do 20-25 reps.
