BOSU Balance Trainer, 65cm The Original

Product Information

As with any squat, this is a great general leg workout, as well as helping to improve your balance, while the explosive, jumping (or plyometric) element of this workout is fantastic for increasing the power of your leg muscles. Aim for 3 sets of 12 reps for each exercise, and complete the routine once a week to add variety to your strength routine.

Performing plyometric exercises like skip lunges or explosive alternating pushups with a BOSU ball not only leads to a tougher exercise, due to a fuller range of motion, but also allows you to perform explosive movements much more easily and effectively. On top of this, the ball can take weights of up to 120KG (264lbs), proving that it is built to last. Also, as a small added bonus, when you purchase this particular BOSU balance trainer ball, it comes with a couple of fitness DVD’s too, which is perfect if you’re going to be working out at home alone and need some guidance! Or, as another example, V-sits and crunches become much easier to perform, as you can safely hyperextend your back and then contract without putting sharp pressure on the spine.The AtivaFit half ball balance trainer is perfect if you’re looking to purchase a product that is guaranteed to be durable and stand the test of time.

To take on the travel squat, you first need to make sure that the pointy bit on the rim of the BOSU is pointing away from you, with the platform side flat on the floor.

Place one hand on the ball and the other on the ground beside it until you’re in a wide-arm push-up position. If this is a bit tricky to begin with, try doing it one leg at a time before working up to both legs.
