Butt: Work on Your Glutes with a Bosu Ball

Deadlifts are great because they really work your glutes if they are done right. Many a day have a been in pain from deadlifting the day before. But I digress...

There are ways to build your balance, build core strength, and work on isolating your glute muscles at the same time. On of these ways is to do a one-legged deadlift on a bosu ball. It challenges your focus a lot. Note that it may be important to start with lighter weights and build up as your body gets used to the exercise. Why? Because it is tough to balance on one leg on an unstable surface, with a heavy dumbbell pulling you down.

Not sure what the heck I'm talking about? Watch the video below for more details.

One-Legged Deadlifts

It is important to push your body to get the maximum impact. So here I am doing some deadlifts on one leg. This really tests your balance, as well as the other parts of your legs and glutes that deadlifts work as well. Try it out. I used only one arm and did lighter weights to really focus on balancing before I gradually increase. How about 4 sets of 12 reps?
