The trainer targets the core muscles of your body--those muscles around your abdominal and back area--helping you to not only gain strength, trim, and tone, but to help coordinate your entire body. This set includes a blue Bosu balance trainer, a workout DVD, a pump, and an exercise manual that will help get you started. About Bosu Training The BOSU acronym stands for "Both Sides Utilized" and has evolved beyond the original BOSU Balance Trainer product. It now represents an approach to exercise that is more mindful than traditional training. At its essence, BOSU Training is about expanding movement capabilities while reshaping the body and strengthening the mind. It is comprised of thoughtful movement that requires the participant to not only be physically involved, but also "here and present" with the mind fully engaged. BOSU Training can be physically demanding, but when properly taught, it is appropriate to a variety of fitness levels and physical capabilities. Use BOSU Training to help enhance performance across a wide continuum of activities including sport, recreation, and daily tasks. Product description The BOSU Home Balance Trainer is a 26-inch balance trainer designed for strength training, balance work, mobility, and cardio using one piece of equipment. It creates an unstable training surface that encourages controlled movement and full-body engagement during a wide range of exercises at home, in the gym, or in structured training environments. The balance dome can be used dome side up or flipped base side up to adjust exercise difficulty. Dome-up training supports balance, coordination, and core engagement. Base-up training increases demand during strength and stability exercises. This dual-sided design allows users to progress workouts without adding additional equipment. Use the trainer for planks, squats, lunges, push-ups, step-ups, single-leg exercises, mobility drills, stretching, and controlled movement patterns. The unstable surface encourages continuous muscle engagement, requiring the core and stabilizing muscles to remain active throughout each exercise. This supports balance, posture, coordination, and movement awareness during training. The textured dome provides traction for hands and feet during standing and floor-based exercises. The base includes non-slip feet to help keep the trainer in place on indoor surfaces. The 26-inch platform offers space for varied foot and hand placement across standing, kneeling, and floor positions. Constructed from burst-resistant, latex-free materials, the BOSU Home Balance Trainer supports users up to 350 pounds. A hand pump is included to adjust inflation and firmness based on comfort and exercise preference. Guided workout resources are included to support proper setup and use. This balance trainer supports a wide range of fitness levels, from beginners building foundational balance to experienced users adding instability and control to strength and conditioning routines.
