When working on top of the dome with two feet, the feet should be equally spaced outside of the top circle on the dome.  When switching over to single leg work, place the working foot directly on top and centered.

Always wear shoes with good lateral support and lace them up so the shoe fits snugly.  A running shoe or tennis shoe generally does not have enough lateral support for this type of training; instead look for a cross trainer or basketball shoe.

CLUB TIP: DO YOU BOSU?

So many tools on the market, so little time (and $$) right? How do you evaluate what tools to bring in - cost, storage, upkeep, variety in programming, and instructor training all come into play when investigating new equipment. the BOSU Balance Trainer is easy to store and easy to maintain and can be very cost effective because it can be utilized in several different class formats.

Instructor training can be obtained by bringing in a BOSU Integrated Balance Training Certification for your staff (a 4 hour workshop) which is the foundational program to begin teaching BOSU to your members. Guru Fitness can train your instructors AND consult with your fitness administrative staff for BOSU programming ideas, scheduling, fee structures, and marketing. What are you waiting for - LET'S BOSU!

FEATURED BOSU MOVE: Squat Rotation

START: Stand on top of the BOSU dome with both feet placed equally from the top circle (about hip width apart). Slowly squat down keeping abs contracted, letting your hips go back and keeping your chest lifted. Rotate to your right, reaching out hip level (or knee level or down to side of dome); come back to center and stand up. Repeat, rotating to your left. Concentrate on keeping your knees straight ahead when you rotate.

ADVANCED: Add a jump when you come to standing, and/or add a medicine ball.
