Move of the Month: BOSU Around the Worlds

Who doesn't love a move that works multiple body parts?  Upper body...check.  Core...check.  Calorie-burnage... check!!

BOSU Around-the-World:

Set bosu on floor, flat side down.  Get into push up position with toes on center of Bosu. We'll call this position "North".  Complete one push-up and then use hands to rotate to the right 45 degrees until your body is pointing "East".  Complete one push-up.  Walk with hands until body points "South".  Complete 1 push-up.  Walk until body points "West".  Complete push-up.  Return to "North" and complete final push-up.  That is ONE.

Add 2 to the end of a superset.  If you're really brave, add 3!  The key to this exercise is to keep your body in a straight line from your head down to your toes as you push up and as you walk!  It will become more difficult to keep your back from drooping or to keep your bum from sticking up in the air, but maintaining a flat back & tight core is essential!  If needed, rest for a few seconds, get your body back into proper position and then finish the move!

Around-the-World works your body from head to toe, but focuses mainly on the core.  This move requires your abs, glutes, lower back, chest, and arms to work hard throughout the entirety of the exercise.  It's a good one!  Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
-Peace. Health. RoxyB!
