  • Place the bosu ball or half-ball on the floor so that it is facing down upon its dome.
  • Lie down in a prone position, keeping your body straight and your hands on the flat side of the ball so that the upper body is supported properly. This will be the starting position.
  • Brace your glutes and core muscles. Lower your torso by bending the elbows so that your chest almost touches the ball. Make sure that your hips are not raised or bent.
  • At the bottom position of the movement, extend your elbows to push yourself back to the initial position.
