ALICE MONSAERT: This exercise on the BOSU is going to target the hamstrings, back of
the thigh. You notice on this segment, we're going to be using the BOSU in its upside down
position. On the bottom of the bosu, it says it's really not recommended that you stand
on the BOSU to do on any of your exercises. If you're going to stand on the bosu, you
want the dome side up. We're going to be standing on this, but I'm going to be going to in supine
position, lying down placing my heels on top of the BOSU, scoot my glutes close to the
BOSU, I'm going to drive the heels down into the BOSU, and just rock the BOSU in and out
to target the hamstrings. This would be your level one exercise where your hips stay on
the ground. To advance the exercise, as I pull in, I can lift my hips and then release
and lower. Pull in and lift, so I'm getting the resistance from pushing down on my heels
to bring my heels closer to my glutes. Again, I can take this up another level by lifting
my hips the whole time and pulling the heels in towards the glutes. You're getting a little
bit limited range of motion, but trust me when I tell you that you can feel those hamstrings
firing and hitting that fatigue factor pretty quick with only a small amount of repetitions.
So, that's your hamstring curl using the BOSU in its upside down position.
