Cardio on the Bosu

[LoveGuinness]

Squat Jumps over the BOSU
Begin standing next to BOSU and place the right foot in the middle of the dome. Squat down and quickly jump over the dome landing with the left foot on the BOSU in a squat. Continue back and forth over the dome, jumping higher for more intensity.


Quarter-Turn Squat Jumps
Stand on top of bubble with feet spaced evenly. Bend the knees and jump up, hopping a quarter turn to the right. Get your balance and hop back to center, then hop a quarter turn to the left and back to center. Continue hopping right, center, left, center for 20 seconds. March in place for 16 counts and repeat. For a challenge, try a half turn.

Do you recommend the Bosu? Do you like the workout you get?
Give a little more info on your experience with it and it's uses. This sounds like a great piece of equipment to have that will not take up much space, no?

Its really great. If you are worried about space, just deflate when you are done working out and then inflate. I have used it more for pilates 100 (it brings that work out up a few levels because you have to focus on balance). I wanted to add cardio to the Bosu and found that these work outs are GREAT. Ill be posting some more when I try them out and see what is best.

Sounds very versitile and a good investment. I can do cardio and pilates and maybe get some coordination going! Did you get yours online or a sports shop?
