Description: Stand on one leg on the Bosu, holding a kettlebell in the opposite hand. Maintain your balance with a straight trunk and stable knee.

Progression: Increase the hold duration by 5 seconds when stable, or add a slight movement of the arm holding the kettlebell to make the exercise more challenging.
