- This is what you call a Bosu ball. It is a very effective way of working out. Bosu stands for "Both Sides Utilized." It consists on one side that is completely flat and the other is a ball which is cut in half.
- It is very important for gaining balance. It is great for cure because in order to keep your balance, you need to use your core. Your body is constantly forced to use your core and stabilizing muscles in order to balance.
What is the BOSU great for?
- Squats- place both feet on the bubble side (the ball) as wide as possible. Descend slowly until your throbs are at least parallel with the ground and then push your legs upward. Begin again.
- Step-Up- place one foot in the center of the ball , and step up and bring your opposite leg up until your thigh is parallel to the ground. This will definitely enhance your balance ability.
- Push-Ups- this is performed on the flat side of the Bosu. Place your hands on the outer edges of the flat side, making sure they are directly under your shoulders. Make sure your abdominals are tighten throughout the workout and that your back is flat.
- Basic Crunch- this is performed lying on your back on the bubble side of the Bosu. Make sure your feet are flat on the ground and lift up into a basic crunch. These are great to do on the Bosu because it gives you more movement. Do as many as you can, but aim for 30.
