BOSU BALANCE TRAINER

The BOSU ('Both Sides Up') is the latest in balance training. It's like an Exercise Ball that has been cut in half with a stable side and an unstable side. This makes for a versatile piece of equipment that can be used for everything from cardio to rehabilitation to yoga. With the ball side up, you can stand, squat, sit or use it just like you would a step for aerobicsthe difference is your body has to constantly shift and contract to stay aligned. This not only helps burn more calories, but enhances coordination and balance. Turn it over and you can use it as a bench (for strength training), push-ups or just sitting on it to test your balance. The BOSU adds FUNctionality to any workout!
"The versatility and application of the BOSU is so great our teams travel with them year round." Andy Walshe, USA Direct Sport Science US Ski and Snowboard Association
The BOSU Balance Ball targets the core muscles of your body - those muscles around your abdominal and back area helping you to not only gain strength, trim and tone but to help coordinate your entire body. Virtually any exercise you can perform on the ground can be performed on the BOSU Balance Ball - making that exercise More Challenging! More Fun! and More effective! The BOSU has a platform that is 25" in diameter and it inflates into a hemisphere 12" high when fully inflated. For all practical purposes, there are no weight restrictions as the BOSU was made with a Burst-resistant material and was designed to be used by professional athletes, some weighing as much as 350 lbs or more.
