Ugi’d Again! Workout 13 min
2012
I love using my Ugi in workouts. It really feels like playing, but don’t be deceived by it’s cute look, it can really make exercises so much more challenging. In exercises where you are balancing on it, like the lunge on Ugi and plank to pike on Ugi, you can really feel your core muscles working as you stabilize your body on it. My pink one is 8 pounds so it adds a bit of resistance also.

Start in plank with hands on Ugi, bring one knee up and twist body bringing the hip on same side as that knee close to or touching the ball, return to plank and repeat on other side, continue alternating sides. For bodyweight version, start in plank and do knee to opposite elbow knee tucks, alternating sides
Start with a wide walking position, place front leg on Ugi, and lunge forward bending front knee and then then straightening it coming out of lunge. Keep feet in the same position throughout all movements and continue to lunge in and out on the front leg.
3 Point Plank Jumps with Ugi Raise
From standing place Ugi on ground in front of your feet, place hands down on Ugi and jump back into high plank, jump feet in and then out to one side, jump them back in and then out to the other side and back in again. After jumping out and in to center, left and right points, stand and lift Ugi up overhead and back to floor. This is one rep.
Get into plank position with feet on Ugi, hold for a few seconds, then roll ball in a bit so feet come forward n it and lift up hips to bring yourself to pike position. Again hold a few seconds and roll back out so you are in plank and repeat these movements balancing on Ugi and alternating positions.
