Begin with BOSU

Greetings! Last Friday I had a brilliant plan for a cross fit style workout later in the day. I wasn’t sure how it would go, and I was waiting for someone else to join me. So, I decided to get in a little a warm up exercise. I did a quick search of Youtube for workout routines. I found one that seemed like a good starter for the day as well as something different from the style of exercise I had been doing. It was a BOSU program. I’ve had a BOSU ball for years, but don’t use it regularly. 


Just for clarity, a BOSU ball is half circle on a rigid circular platform. BOSU means BOth Sides Up. In the video the trainer, Dana Lee, effectively uses both sides. Her high intensity interval workout is a very good one. I was soaked in sweat by the end of the short Youtube video. Lee’s program consists of 5 moves for three sets. Here is the link:

After the seconded work out of dragging, throwing, chopping, pulling, climbing and the like, I was gassed and bit sore. All in all, the two workouts made for a good day of physical fitness.  

BOSU or Run!
