The BOSU BALL!

Just another exercising contraption?

Nope.

Sure, you may be looking at the "gadget" and saying "What the heck am I supposed to do with this thing?". But ladies and gentleman, THIS is what has been making more sore for the past 2 weeks!




BOSU standing for ("both sides utilized") is one of the greatest gadgets hitting the gym. This device incorporates Core and Balance Training as well as Sports Training. It can be used facing both ways, with the black side being more for a balanced challenge.

When you first use it, I would try standing on it. If you can stand on it and do one squat then you have good balance. It's hard at first, but with time and a video or trainer, you'll be fine!

Here is a website that I use when working with my BOSU ball. It has everything from how to do a push up on the BOSU, to using weights, to core training. Also, if you go on YouTube, you can find tons workout routines, for FREE!

BOSU balls here in Windsor, run for about $169, with NO video, and that's just horrible, BUT if you go online to the main BOSU website, then you can find one with a workout video for much cheaper.

Trust me, this little thing is going to shape you up! It's really good.
