A Bosu ball is a useful and versatile piece of equipment that everyone should have in a home gym. This inexpensive tool can help you improve balance and stability and make some of your favorite exercises even more challenging. Here are some of the best and most effective exercises you can do using a Bosu ball.

Mountain Climber

Mountain climbers are a classic exercise that’s awesome for burning calories and targeting core muscles. In case you want to make this move even more challenging and improve your balance you can do that by using a Bosu ball.

Lunges

Using a Bosu ball for forward and backward lunges will challenge your core muscles and stability even more so than normal lunges.

Push-ups

If you’re looking for ways to take standard pushups to a whole new level, a Bosu ball can help improve this move. Bosu ball pushups are much more challenging, but they’re also more effective because doing pushups on an unstable surface will activate more upper body muscles.

Bridge

Glute bridge is a simple exercise that is suitable for most beginners, and it’s very effective and great for strengthening glutes, lower back, and ab muscles, especially if you try doing them on a Bosu ball.
