Is the BOSU Balance Trainer worth the investment?
By Christina | November 16, 2008
I have been using the BOSU for a few years and I love this piece of equipment. It’s portable and versatile - it can be used as a bench, step, and core trainer all in one. It can be used for everything from sports drills to cardio workouts.
BOSU stands for both sides up which means it can be used with either side facing up and each side provides a completely different workout. There is a rounded dome like half ball and a hard flat surface that is equally unstable but in a very different way.
Benefits:
- This is a unique way to train for strength and balance which is great for the stabilizers in the legs
- All ages can use it; it’s great for beginners, athletes, young and old
- You can use it through a dynamic range of motion which means in all directions
- You can use it for cardio, strength training and/or balance workout
- Can be used for everything from cardio to yoga
