Sports reviews of Bosu 3D System Balance Trainer

Customer Review: A few glitches, but an excellent workout
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Got this around Christmas as the deal of the day, awesome price. It's up again today for $87.99, a price you really can't beat. Like a lot of reviewers, I had seen the BOSU with no accessories in stores for more than this price. I'm not sure what the normal Amazon price for this package after today is, but I'm sure it's still far better than the stores.
I received the BOSU, stand, pump, elastic bands, and 3 workout dvds. I've used 2 of the dvds so far, (and I've been out of cardio shape for a few months) and they've really kicked my butt. I'm very experienced with step aerobic workouts, and the wobble of the BOSU adds a welcome challenge to even the most basic moves. Yes, there are way too many squats for my liking as I'm just getting back into shape, but I've done enough aerobics classes to know how to do my own thing if I need a break for a minute. I doubt I will want to do the dvds day in and day out b/c I will get bored with them, so last week I just put on a cd and did my own combination of steps, squats, knee lifts, and whatever to my own music--a great option once you are comfortable with the moves from your dvds.
I was luckier than some reviewers--I was able to assemble my stand with only 1 screw hole not lining up right. It was not from not following instructions on order to put together or how much to tighten--it was just poor workmanship in production. I agree with whoever said the resistance bands were mostly useless--I can't get mine to stay when I try to adjust the length either. A small set of inexpensive hand weights (or even some cans from your kitchen cabinet) remedies this problem, and you can use them for other activities away from the BOSU as well. Aside from the assembly, everything seems to be of great quality.
Bottom line: at today's price especially, this is a great addition to a home gym. Of course, like any other home equipment you reap what you sow--you'll have to get in there and commit yourself. I bought this before Christmas, and finally started using it this month, so I'm not saying this condescendingly! It's hard to get motivated, especially for home workouts, but this is an unusual, versatile, and even fun piece of equipment that will definitely get a lot of use here.

Description of Bosu 3D System Balance Trainer

The all new BOSU 3D System not only opens the door to balance training for beginners, it offers variation and versatility to seasoned BOSU Trainers. Bosu Balance Trainer included.
Appropriate for everyone from elite athletes to kids to weekend warriors trying to stay in shape, the Bosu 3D System Balance Trainer helps you strengthen and coordinate several major muscle groups, including the muscles you don't see. The 3D System targets your core muscles--the muscles around your abdominal and back area--while you perform a host of different workouts, from lunges and bicep curls to lateral shoulder raises and hip extensions.
As a result, you not only gain strength, trim, and tone, but also improve your balance and coordination along the way. In addition, Bosu training helps strengthen the mind, with thoughtful movement that requires the participant to not only be physically involved, but also "here and present" with the mind fully engaged. By combining physical and mental focus, Bosu training will boost your performance across a wide continuum of activities, including sports, recreation, and daily tasks.

At the heart of the 3D system is a multipurpose, modular exercise platform with a balance ball surface in the middle. The platform serves as an exercise base by itself, but also attaches to an included balance bar and adjustable resistance tubing to give you even more workout flexibility. The balance bar makes the 3D System more accessible to beginners, but also encourages seasoned Bosu users to create a more varied and versatile workout program. The system also includes a workout program on DVD.

About BOSU
Invented by David Weck, the BOSU Balance Trainer debuted in 2000 and quickly became one of the most successful fitness training products on the market. Originally, the name "BOSU" was an acronym for Both Sides Up. It meant that the BOSU Balance Trainer could be used on either side, the dome or the platform. Today, the term BOSU has evolved beyond the product to now mean Both Sides Utilized, a mindful approach to exercise that is a step beyond traditional training. This clarity of who BOSU is and what they want to offer inspired the development of additional BOSU products and programming, all of which are grounded in exercise science and proven in real-life application.

BOSU Training is about expanding movement capabilities, reshaping bodies, and strengthening minds. It's about inserting thought into movement, being physically involved, and also being present and fully engaged in the training process. BOSU's products are known industry-wide for training balance, enhancing flexibility, and delivering killer cardio workouts. They have an unprecedented reputation for building strength and fine tuning skills for sport. But on their own, BOSU products are just molded plastic, weighted rubber, and stability balls with secret filling. You have to engage them in order to bring them to life! So, beyond their products, BOSU offers a system of mindful action, intentional movement, and smart science that produces results.

The BOSU training approach makes certain that when you get on the BOSU Balance Trainer or move with the BOSU Ballast Ball, you will get everything from a feel-good, get-fit, no-regrets training tool. Even more than that, you get an intelligent training method that transcends any piece of fitness equipment.
