Join me in my new gym today with a new piece of equipment! You’ve probably seen the Bosu (both sides utilized) around the gym or on shows like The Biggest Loser. Have you tried it out yourself yet?
It’s a fantastic tool for both strength training and cardio. Back in school, I took a cardio class based on knee-ups, hopping and kickboxing-style moves on the Bosu. Today, we’re employing the tool in our lower body toning exercises. A lunge, squat or well, pretty much any strength move, racks up added benefits when performed on the Bosu because the core has to stabilize your body while you work through the range of motion. Bonus!
Spy around your gym for a Bosu next time you’re there. No need to be intimidated! Of course you can perform all of these moves simply on the floor or substitute a balance disk or similar item in your own home.
Is there a wacky fitness item you’d love to try but have been afraid to?
