Bosu Ball Training


Bosu ball training is just one of the proven methods of training to maximize your weight loss, fat loss and muscle building efforts.

Bosu workouts and exercises recruit more muscle fiber and force you to workout so that you are utilizing and strengthening core muscles.

What is a Bosu? Take a look at the image and it will certainly help explain things. Think of a stability ball cut in half with a stable, flat bottom. You can do various Bosu ball exercises with the Bosu either bouncy side down, or bouncy side up. It is wonderfully versatile!



Bosu Ball Exercises


Any floor exercises and workouts or any traditional cable workouts that you would be typically see people doing in a gym setting can be modified into a bosu ball exercise.

I have been loving my Beach Body P90X workouts. You can read my day by day account of that journey here. The P90X workouts are amazing. Of course one could argue that any workout videos are good and get results if you stay with it. Of course your fitness nutrition plan is even more important than your bosu ball training or any other workouts.

As noted fitness trainer and author Tom Venuto(The Body Fat Solution: Five Principles for Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscles, Ending Emotional Eating, and Maintaining Your Perfect Weight) says, "you can't out train a bad diet."

So yesterday I did a workout with Mary Ann Zinck, who is an amazing personal trainer, fitness expert and owner of HEAT Fitness Studio

in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia had me do some Bosu ball training and various Bosu exercises to help confuse and stimulate my muscles to work in different ways. And work it did! I was sweating my buttt off.

So I will definitely be continuing to use bosu ball training as a bonus workout a few times per week to help increase my metabolism

Clearly, BOSU Balance Trainer is a versatile piece of equipment and you should consider using it as part of your workout routine. I know I will be.
