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.


It is a material that we can find so much in the world of the fitness, that is to say, in any gymnasium we are going to be able to find a BOSU and also we will be able to see it in activities as yoga or pilates. And also is used also in the world of the high performance in sports as athletics, tennis, paddle, basketball, and especially in sports of snow as for example skiing.


It is a material composed principally by latex. But inside these it is necessary to differ among several types:

1) BOSU PRO BALANCE TRAINER

The first one of them is most used in all gymnasium and directed classes. There has a diameter of 65cm, which facilitates the activities on it. It has a non-slipping base that does not leave fingerprint in the soil. In general, this almost indestructible material takes a few very good characteristics as a price of 137,99 €.

2) BOSU HOME BALANCE TRAINER

Secondly, and as your own name indicates, this BOSU is chosen to be employed at our proper) house (it is not necessary to it to give a use so stressful as to be possible to give it the previous model). Your diameter is the same that of the previous one and has a less intense blue colour. East BOSU has a weight of 9kg. The price of this BOSU diminishes 112,99 €.

The benefits that it us is going to contribute to work with the bosu are the following ones:

1) There allows to work the propioception (if you do not know what is the propioception, do not hesitate to visualize this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=aGP6N-toZeo), which will improve the prevention of injuries and will increase the performance in certain sports. 


2) It helps to improve the postural control, favoring to the balance and the coordination between others. 


3) It allows to improve the physical condition of the person, helping to work the average zone (CORE)




In general, any person can train on a bosu (if before he has trained certain capacities on the soil, since if it he has not done it when I trained on this material it will increase the risk of injury. 


Some exercises of balance that we can develop with this material are:






And now other exercises at which besides the balance we have as aim be employed the resistance are:






In this video we observe a progression of exercises to be able to train on a BOSU:
