I did some movements during core day that I haven’t pulled out in awhile.  One of them was using the bosu ball during my planks.  When I plank I always do it on my hands instead of my elbows as it forces you to engage more of your upper body.  The one disadvantage about doing them in push up position is your body angle is less parallel to the ground meaning the forces of gravity on your core are not quite as much as an elbow plank.

One way to have the best of both worlds is to raise your feet.  I could feel the difference as I had my feet up on the bosu for a standard plank.  However when I did one arm side planks on the bosu it was an entirely new level.  I was fighting the entire time to keep my body from twisting over one way or the other.

I also did some toe to bar reps.  They were ridiculously hard. I also did two frog stands holds that I may have last attempted in 2015.
