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, BOSU® Balance Trainer helps to strengthen and coordinate your body including the muscles that you don't see.Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Used this to invent the first Bosu Drinking Game. If you think it’s hard to balance on a Bosu when you’re sober, try it blindfolded and after 3 shots of tequila!

The game goes like this:

Select a random person to get on the Bosu, and pour a shot for the remaining players.

If the person on the Bosu falls off before the other players have finished their shots, that player drinks the remaining liquor, plus 2 more shots.

The last player to finish their shot is the next Bosu “victim”, and then you begin from the top.

Improvise as necessary for maximum fun.

I purchased this item in x-mas of 2003 for my wife.
It is a very fun equipment to use, jumping up and down and learning to balance on the BOSU. But, After 2 months of use, it lost some air, and I reinflated it. Unfortunately, I guess the plug area isn’t made of good material. It has leak around the plug. Now, the equipment is sitting outside after 2 months of use…, or not even 2 months. I would not recommend this item for anyone to purchase.

Love this item. Use it @ the gym regularly and have wanted one for awhile. Great for core work.

This is a great workout, I run and workout regularly and felt very out of shape and uncoordinated after doing this workout. I really like the DVD that comes with this and will probably purchase a different DVD once I get a little better at this.

This ball is awesome! It’s one of the most challenging workouts I ever had! Totally worth every penny! I’m a runner and cyclist and this ball made me feel OUT OF SHAPE! I’ve seen many improvements already and look forward to using it to its maximum potential in the future. It did take over a week and a half to deliver but was easy to track.
