Technique

1. Turn the BOSU dome side down and grip the edges of the flat platform.
2. Walk your feet back into a push-up position with your body straight.
3. Lower your chest toward the platform while keeping it level.
4. Push back up until your arms are straight.

Cues

• Keep the platform from tipping by pressing evenly with both hands.
• Move slowly; control matters more than reps.

Common mistakes

• Letting the platform tilt to one side.
• Letting the hips sag.
• Placing the hands close together near the center, which removes most of the balance challenge.
