Killer Ab Exercises on 2 Bosu Balls
Learn the Most Effective Ab Exercises

You can use a Bosu Ball to perform many killer ab exercises!

I think the Bosu Ball is a great tool for ab exercises and core exercises. Because the Bosu Ball is unstable, your abdominals and core muscles will work harder, and you'll have improved balance, coordination, and core strength.

Below is a more challenging version of the plank using 2 Bosu Balls to fire up your core muscles. If you are a beginner try mastering the regular plank first, and try this one after you've built up your core strength.

1 Leg Planks on 2 Bosu Balls

Killer Ab Exercises #1: 1 Leg Plank from the Hands

Starting Position: Begin by placing your hands on top of the Bosu Ball and also place your feet on top of a Bosu Ball. Keep your body in a straight line and engage your abs and core muscles.

Form: While keeping your abs engaged, slowly lift one leg off the Bosu Ball. Hold the leg in the air for 10-30 seconds and then switch legs.

Personal Trainer Tips: You can do this exercise in three ways. You can do 5-15 repetitions on one leg at a time-- lift one leg hold for 1 second and then return to the starting position. Then, simply lift that same leg 5-15 times before switching to the opposite leg.

You can also do this exercise in alternating fashion, switching from your left to your right leg for 5-15 repetitions on each leg.

Lastly, you can perform this ab exercise as an isometric exercise. Isometric simply means same length, so you would just lift one leg and hold as the instructions above explains.

Killer Ab Exercises #2

Starting Position: Begin this exercise in the same position as the isometric variation above, except hold from your elbows instead of your hands.

Form: While keeping your abs engaged, slowly lift one leg off the Bosu Ball. Hold the leg in the air for 10-30 seconds and then switch legs.

Personal Trainer Tips: Remember to build up your strength by mastering the regular floor plank first.

Then progress by using 1 Bosu Ball for planks. Once you master 1 Bosu Ball, then try using 2 at the same time.

Conclusion

It can be a lot of fun to make up ways to challenge your abs and core. But you can get a lot of benefit from almost any type of core exercise. Core training is more than just making up crazy exercises.
