BOSU Ball Isometric Push Up
Exercise Overview
This is a stability exercise for the muscles of the chest, shoulder and core. Start by assuming a push up position with your hands placed on a BOSU ball that has been flipped upside down (flat surface pointing upwards). Proceed to completing an eccentric pushup until you reach the bottom position. Hold the bottom position for 5-10 seconds and then complete the concentric phase by returning to the top position. Be sure to keep the core braced to maintain a neutral spine during this exercise.
