Bosu Session

This session today focused on using the Bosu for the majority of the exercises. The Bosu is an excellent tool to use with all clients incorporating core stability to an exercise. The client performed squats, bicep curls and a shoulder press all standing on the Bosu. This made sure the client activated her core throughout the exercises to enable her to keep good technique and maintain posture throughout.
As well as standing on the Bosu performing exercises,  she also did ¾ press up with her hands holding onto the Bosu and a plank positioning her forearms on the bosu (see pic). Again with a press up this makes sure the core is engaged throughout and increasing the intensity to a basic plank. She also performed no crunches or stomach exercises during her session today yet because we used the Bosu to perform some basic exercise her core got a really good challenging workout.

I strongly recommend using a Bosu as part of your fitness program whether working as a Personal Trainer or training on your own. Get out there and try it!
