You can flatten and firm even the flabbiest abs with this exercise- fast! You’ll increase the strength of all your abdominal muscles, especially your obliques, to help minimize “love handles” and the lower-belly “pooch” not to mention increased stability, balance, and core strength, which enhances any activity.  You can also perform this exercise on a mat or a flat bench, however the bosu works the total trunk musculature (core) incorporating balance and stability, which makes the exercise more challenging.

• Lie on top of the bosu and balance your body (draw abdominals in) while lying on your back in a fetal position.
• Keep head up and elbows back.
• Inhale as you twist left shoulder (not elbow) to right knee while straightening opposite leg.  Repeat twist on opposite side.
• You should be at mid-way point when you inhale and exhale each time you complete the twist.
• Alternating both sides until you complete 30 repetitions.  Each side is one rep.

Tips on Form:  Move as slowly as possible to insure good technique and results.
Twist shoulder to knee, not elbow to knee, to incorporate full range of motion resulting in taxing the obliques.
