In one format, you own a product you can stand on, be seated on, lie down on and do a range of modern workouts with many of your usual movement patterns.

Next when you turn the BOSU over, you own an unstable surface that you can employ for upper body and torso exercises. So, grab a BOSU if you are shopping around for a truly versatile instability work out product.

What is it for?
As with every instability products, the fact that when you use them, they move, you get an extra amount of muscle recruitment and for that reason benefits of completing exercises. If you think of traditional movements you already know, for example, press ups – when you do them on the BOSU the reaction or movement means that your muscles are firing fast to compensate for the unstable surface.

If you roll it over, you can efficiently hold equipment to work your feet to the top of your head, as by exercising on the BOSU it makes you concentrate and get your stability until eventually your movement patterns will be converted into further equal, more well balanced and more strong.

How do you maximise Bosu Balance?
A good way to use the BOSU is to take customary actions you are already familiar in conjunction with, for instance squats and lunges, and once they’ve achieved a level of —————- on those actions, introduce an extra challenge of doing them on the BOSU surface. Upon here a lunge, the challenge and activity level is greater since you are working opposed to an unstable surface. From the minute your foot is making contact with the BOSU, you have to counter and engage added muscle firing to facilitate to keep balanced, to keep strong.

You can work from the floor to the BOSU, or from the top surface off and on. You can move through countless movements adding challenge and intensity. Flip the BOSU over & take established exercises, like the sit up, move them on to an unstable surface and instantly have a new level of intensity.

What are the benefits of using Bosu Balance training?
The benefits to the user – because the actual surface of the BOSU is more when active, it makes you more focused and more aware of what your body is doing. Therefore, if the board moves one side to another, you can see it and feel it, meaning you can actually rectify the situation.

So using a BOSU is going to increase the client’s body awareness, whilst at the same time improving their balance, co-ordination and strength levels.
