1.- Bosu lateral shoulders with dumbbells(shoulders and ABS). 
Get some dumbbells maybe 10 lbs to start and step on the Bosu,remember to correct your Posture first so you can balanced your body,keep knees semiflex,standing tall and shoulders back,dumbbells next to your gluts and legs(starting position) squeeze your abs(inhale) and as you (exhale)you will bring both arms straight and up till the level of your shoulders, keep a little semiflex in your arms , don’t hyperextend your arms and feel the work in your shoulders, bring the arms slow down and repeat.20 REPS x 4sets.

2.- Bosu biceps curl(biceps and ABS). 

Get your dumbbells and choose the weight proper for you,remember that the execution of this curl is first with your arms fully extended palm facing up and in front of your quadriceps, keep your back tall and shoulders back (inhale), so step on the Bosu flex knees, squeeze abs, and now bring both dumbbells up and close to your shoulders squeezing biceps(exhale),bring your arms down and FULLY EXTENDED,and repeat Do not use TOO MUCH WEIGTH if you can’t control the technique, you will be falling from the bosu if you are trying to show off. 20 REPS X 4sets.
