BOSU is great for stability and balance, but the BOSU™ Balance Trainer allows training for cardiovascular, toning and flexibility components as well. The BOSU™ Balance Trainer (designed to be safe and long lasting) comes with an instruction video, a pump and exercise manual that will get you started with BOSU exercises.

BOSU™ gives a whole new meaning to "movement control" as the user learns to workout on Bosu's ever changing (unstable) surface. The blue-side (round side) -up provides mostly lower leg and ankle stability training while the black-side (flat side) -up provides more core and hip stability training. The advanced stability training of BOSU is great for sports conditioning as well as standard workouts.
