The BOSU Balance Trainer is available at a variety of sporting goods and departments stores for around $99.95, and you can find more details about buying online in my BOSU Balance Trainer Review. You can also find detailed exercises and other BOSU products at BOSU.com.
BOSU Balance Trainer Exercise Videos
Your BOSU Balance Trainer comes with an instructional video, but there are other videos to help you integrate the BOSU Balance Trainer into your workouts (I've included links to their vendor sites below):
- Rob Glick's Cardio Fusion This 45-minute cardio routine offers a choreographed workout very similar to a traditional step routine. The workout is a bit dance-like, but also includes sports-like moves as well. This is a great introduction to cardio on the Balance Trainer.
- BOSU Equilibrium with Jay Blahnik This excellent DVD offers a great yoga/Pilates type workout that can be both challenging and relaxing. Jay does some traditional yoga moves (like warriors and sun salutations) using the Balance Trainer and also includes some core work as well.
- BOSU Total Sports Conditioning with Mindy Mylrea This workout focuses more on sports training and includes more drills, although there is a little choreography here. Personal trainers may find this one helpful if they are training athletes.
- BOSU Blast This DVD includes two workouts, but the BOSU Blast takes you through an intense step-like routine using the Balance Trainer (for advanced exercisers.) This is much harder than the Cardio Fusion workout listed above, with plenty of high impact moves, although the instructor does show modifications.
