Description of Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version
This version is not intended for commercial use. Product warranty is voided if used for commercial purposes. From the elite athlete to kids to weekend warriors trying to stay in shape, BOSUŽ Balance Trainer helps to strengthen and coordinate your body including the muscles that you don't see.Appropriate for everyone from elite athletes to kids to weekend warriors trying to stay in shape, the Bosu balance trainer helps you strengthen and coordinate several major muscle groups, including the muscles you don't see. The Bosu targets your core muscles--the muscles around your abdominal and back area--while you perform a host of different workouts, from squats 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.
The Bosu home trainer comes with a workout series on a single DVD to help get you fit, along with a foot pump and exercise manual. The DVD workout series starts with the Calorie Combustion Workout, which combines step routines with sport-specific moves to get your heart rate up and your muscles challenged. The Long & Lean Workout follows a different formula, with master trainer Chalene Johnson leading you through Pilates-inspired movements that emphasize total body toning, so you feel stronger, taller, and younger. Finally, the Absolutely Abs Workout concludes the Bosu package. In this final workout, master motivator Greg Cook unlocks the Bosu dynamics to maximize your range of motion and take your ab workouts to the next level.
Sports reviews of Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version
Customer Review: Make sure you know how to use it before just inflating it!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The home version of the BOSU balance trainer is just as sturdy as the PRO variety used at health clubs. However, it's important that you know how to use it correctly. The BOSU should be inflated to 10 inches, and if properly inflated and plugged, it should not lose air nor pop out of its frame.I have been using BOSU with clients for over 2 years, and I've never had any problems despite having inflated and deflated my BOSUs several times on several occasions. I recommend this home version to my clients and website visitors because it is far less expensive compared to the pro version and just as effective for home use.
If you're new to BOSU training, consider taking a class with a certified BOSU instructor (or better still, a BOSU master trainer like myself) or purchase a BOSU video. It's not just a bouncy step :-)
Customer Review: Pricey - but a great investment!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have always been concerned with fitness - first, when I was playing sports; now, just as a way to maintain my health. I had been considering purchasing a Bosu for awhile - but the price had always outweighed the benefits in my mind (and wallet!) I finally decided to buy one, and I'm glad I did! Finding good "tools" for working on balance while developing functional strength is not always easy. The Bosu solves that problem. There are a LOT of exercises that you can do with it - both upper and lower body - and all are very important in terms of working on your balance (including the small, usually overlooked stabilizer muscles), while at the same time developing the functional strength that we ALL need in our daily lives.
If you can afford to buy one - I recommend it!
Customer Review: Challenging workout
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am a distance runner and basketball enthusiast.
I was first introduced to the Bosu in physical therapy as I was recently recovering from a torn calf muscle (from basketball) on the same leg of which I fully ruptured my achilles tendon (from basketball) 5 years ago. There were a few exercises I did with the Bosu in physical therapy. Each time I used it I would think of how just practicing good controlled balance could improve so many aspects of physical performance. So I got one for home and have only been using the included DVD and have to say it's a great workout to mix in to your weekly regiment. The included workout opens your eyes to many different applications of this training tool including step-type aerobic activity as well as core training.
Customer Review: Balancing pro

I purchased the Bosu ball last year and it was worth every penny! My first experience with the Bosu was with my personal trainer. She showed me plenty of great exercises that I was able to do at the comfort of my own home. I workout 6 days a week and this ball is always my first choice to strengthening the core muscles. The ball is perfect for squats, sit-ups, and side sit-ups. You can also turn the ball over on its belly and practice your balancing. I personally use the ball for stomach exercises and see results everyday! I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone that is eager to train themselves at home.Customer Review: I Love It!

I first used the Bosu at a fitness center. I loved it so much I bought one for my "home gym". Assembly is easy. Just use the pump (included with purchase) to inflate. It comes with a DVD containing three short workouts. In the workouts, the Bosu is used much like a step in step areobics. The workouts are fun and challenging. I use my Bosu for doing squats and lunges. I also stand/balance on it while using hand weights to do bicep curls, shoulder presses, tricep kickbacks, etc. The added challenge of keeping your balance while strength training really works your core. I noticed a difference in my abs within weeks.
