The term BOSU refers to " Both Side Up
". This material is composed by a semisphere and a flat surface which is
supported in the soil. It was created as improvement of the fitball, since it had
major usefulness on having diminished the difficulty and to allow to develop a
more functional training. Because of it same with the BOSU we seek to work the
musculature of global form.
