Let me just start by telling you that BOSU is an acronym of sorts for both sides up. That's kind of cute, but I can’t help but think about Ginsu knives (only $99.99 for the entire set) when I say it.
You’ve probably seen one at your gym. It looks like a physio ball cut in half. You can work with either the flat side up or the ball side up - hence its name. Even though there are only two options, you'd be surprised with the amount or exercises you can do with the BOSU. The variations are endless.
With the ball side up you can stand on it, test your balance and work your core. Or just stand on one leg to strengthen your standing ankle. Another possibility is lunging with your front foot on the BOSU.
With the flat side up, you can do a plank. This is really hard and I would start on your knees (make sure you’re on something cushy to protect your knees).

Where can one of these Bosu balls be purchased? Ive worked with one before and recently saw some of the people on Biggest Loser use one. I hear they are like $150, but they are worth if because they are fun to exercise with!
1This thing is amazing. There are so many exercises you can do with it!
2I especially like using it for push ups. And using the resistance ropes with this thing is great run, challenging, and good practice for the ski season.
I still cant find the correct model. There are some rinky-dink close models at Dicks, but thats about it.
3I just saw one when I was in Target. Also, they had this thing called a *****disc....fartially inflated and you use it to work your core...cant remember what it was called though,,,
I'm all in.
4Hmm, I better check that out! Thanks!
5I would get one, if they were a little cheaper!
6Tell me about it!
7I would LOVE to have one of these but I don't have an extra $100-200 + to spend. My trainer has one and she says we are going to start using it.
