WHAT IS A BOSU BALANCE TRAINER?
The BOSU Balance Trainer is a versatile exerciser that looks like a stability ball cut in half. BOSU means “both sides up”, because it can be used on both sides.
With the dome side up, and flat side down, the BOSU remains stable. Stepping onto to the dome, you can perform exercises on the unstable surface. Turning the BOSU over, the platform becomes very unstable, for more advanced exercises.
