• Place the Bosu on domed side. Get into a standard push-up position with hands holding the edges of Bosu. Contract abs and glutes. This is the starting position.

• While contracting abs/glutes, take 3 seconds to lower body until elbows are at 90-degree angle.

• Pause for 1 second. Then take 1 second to raise body to the starting position. That is 1 rep. Do 3 sets: Set 1-3 reps, Set 2-2 reps, Set 3-1 reps.

Though women can do the standard push-up position, an alternative is performing the exercise in bent knee position with soles of feet facing upward.

For optimal fitness results, balance exercise with healthy nutrition and high quality sleep.
