This challenging core exercise really requires some focus and stability!
Having problematic or lazy glutes? This one is for you.
This is a progression from both your standard and elevated Bosu Push Ups. Your body is angled downward which slightly changes the stimulus placed on the muscles. Also, the use of the swiss ball increases the level of stability required throughout the exercise and will engage your core muscles.
In this progression, we throw in some extra challenge by having the swiss ball under us. By holding the body in correct alignment, you will also want to squeeze your glutes to help you stay on the ball.
If you are unable to get your head against the wall, try propping a towel that is rolled up enough to enable you have your head against it.
This exercise is an evolution of your standard Swiss Ball Hamstring Curls. It’s a great exercise to really get a serious contraction happening in the hamstrings as well as engaging your glutes as well.
To make this exercise more challenging, you can have only your elbows pressed into the ground which reduces your stability. To make it more difficult again, have your arms straight up in the air.
