Exercise of the day: Single leg deadlifts (or I call them airplanes when I don’t use weight) on a Bosu! Starting on one leg move from a standing position to having your chest and non supporting leg parallel to the ground and back to standing, repeat 8-12 times per leg. Give them a try on a stable surface before graduating to a Bosu! #bosu #balance #fitness #yyc #yycfitness #calgaryfitness #personaltrainer #workout #gym #wellness
