Bosu Crunch instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Sit in the center of the rounded side of a bosu ball, positioning your lower back comfortably against the curve.

Place your hands lightly behind your head, avoiding pulling on your neck.

Lift your upper body using your abdomen to create a 'crunching' motion, keeping your elbows outwards.

Slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Repeat for the desired number of reps, ensuring to use your abs for the motion, not your neck.
