A variation of the above can also be done with the tubing instead of a Dumbell. Place the tubing under the Bosu and sit on Bosu. Hold each handle of the tubing in both the hands. Slowly, exhaling raise the hands up towards your shoulders. Keep the elbows soft. They should never be locked. Inhaling come down. You may do alternate hand i.e unilateral or both hands together i.e bilateral.



While seated on Bosu, bend slightly forward but keep the back straight and abs tight.
