Description: To perform this exercise, start with one side of the bosu down against the floor, flat side up. Place one foot in that spot and hold your weight there. Take your other foot and place it on the inside of the rim on the other side. Slowly shift weight over until your weight is evenly balanced. If you need to, start with your knees bent slightly and hold the front of the rim while adjusting the feet. When standing, Tighten the muscles in your stomach and keep knees soft.

Keeping center of gravity over the ball, sit back into a squat keeping your chest from tilting too far forward. Try to keep weight over the center of the foot and avoid making any quick movements. Press back up keeping the bosu even and stand up tall.
