(More customer reviews)First off, I must note that I did some research prior to investing in this...those who have had issues with product separating from base have overinflated their bosu. Read instructions prior to inflation and it will explain this. A friend who is a personal trainer (who talked me into investing in the bosu) said even working the Bosu with all clients she hadn't had the issue EVER so I trusted the info to be accurate and took the leap. Glad I did!
It is a rare day I use the words "fun" and "workout" in the same sentence but this sure gels those two oxymorons together. It is great fun and, according to my heart rate monitor, gave me one major workout when I did the dvd or use it on it's own
But better yet? The time flew by! I loved using it and...
wow, it's like skiiing...those who ski know you utilize muscles you can't in any other way via the movements that aren't the "norm". Same thing here. I work out daily yet the first time I used the bosu the next day I felt that I had one great workout with muscles aching (in a good way) that I never had used before.
I gave away my aerobic step after using my bosu a few times. This is so much better. Now I use the bosu during any workout dvd that calls for a step. Not only do you utilize more muscles during your workouts (and all new muscle built burns extra calories...win/win) but the trampline-like feel makes it fun and the dome shape adds a core and balance workout that you'd never get otherwise.
There are a few gadgets I invested in this year that I kiss myself for being smart enough to get and this is one. (my kindle comes in second)
the best part is I use it during many of my other workout dvds now just to burn more calories and use more muscles...
AND it takes so many workout moves up a notch. Like ab moves...you are no longer hindered by the floor so you can lean across the bosu to do crunches and work twice as many muscles because of the range of motion, push ups with the bosu turned upside down works more of your core because you engage more muscles when doing the moves. (plus it makes it way more fun...whenver my workout dvds instruct me to go to the floor for plank or pushups or ab work I do them on the bosu!)
love it! A great "fitness toy"!!
(p.s. I do extensive reading and research before buying anything...especially when it comes to fitness...explore the web and fitness magazines. This is, without question, universally a positive addition to whatever you are using now.)
