Abs Exercise #26: V Crunch on Bosu

The V crunch on the bosu trainer is an advanced abs exercise that works the entire core. However besides just working the abs the bosu challenges your balance and stability. This works more muscles causing you to burn more calories than if you were just doing a crunch on the floor. You may have seen these bosu trainers at your local gym, if not you can have a look at one here at Amazon.

Here is the proper way to perform the V crunch on bosu:

1. Place the bosu on the floor with the flat side on the ground.
2. Lie down on the ball on your back. Try to imagine the bosu split into thirds so that your shoulders, middle back, and bottom all rest on one third each as in the video below.
3. Raise your arms so that they are straight up in the air.
4. Bring your legs up towards your chest and then extend them straight up. At the same time you want to crunch up while keeping your arms extended in the air. The aim is to make a V shape with your body.
5. Come back down to the starting position and repeat. Try to aim for 3 sets of 10 to really work your abs.

Things to remember when doing the V crunch on bosu:

• Remember to aim to straighten your legs at the top of the movement.
• To add another dimension to the exercise you can hold the position at the top of the movement.
