Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version

This is a great product and not only builds core balance, but builds real core strength and this is outstanding.

Use for crunches or balance. This is identical to those at the gyn and is really good quality ... apart from the hand pump. Forget it and buy a useful one.

I am a distance runner and basketball enthusiast.

I was first introduced to the Bosu in physical therapy as I was recently recovering from a torn calf muscle (from basketball) on the same leg of which I fully ruptured my achilles tendon (from basketball) 5 years ago. There were a few exercises I did with the Bosu in physical therapy. Each time I used it I would think of how just practicing good controlled balance could improve so many aspects of physical performance. So I got one for home and have only been using the included DVD and have to say it's a great workout to mix in to your weekly regiment. The included workout opens your eyes to many different applications of this training tool including step-type aerobic activity as well as core training.

Used this to invent the first Bosu Drinking Game. If you think it's hard to balance on a Bosu when you're sober, try it blindfolded and after 3 shots of tequila!

The game goes like this:
Select a random person to get on the Bosu, and pour a shot for the remaining players.

If the person on the Bosu falls off before the other players have finished their shots, that player drinks the remaining liquor, plus 2 more shots.

The last player to finish their shot is the next Bosu "victim", and then you begin from the top.

Improvise as necessary for maximum fun.

I use the Bosu Ball for everything...from doing curls and arm exercises on it, jumping on it, balancing, abs, everything! I love it!!!
