I have the body dome (is it the same thing as a Bosu?) -- bought it and didn't think it was challenging enough and gave it to my sister -- whom I wish would get psyched about fitness like I am, but she doesn't. She liked it, quit using it and now I'm begging for it back...I've seen some workouts on Fit TV I would LOVE to try.

I didn't know if I would like it or not, but in fact I love it. My favourite Bosu workout is Seasun Zieger's on the new CIA 2604. Fun, fun, fun! Then she uses it for core work. Yikes!!!

Let me know how you like it once you get it. I, too, want to mix up my cardio, but I'm afraid of getting yet one more fitness toy that I don't use. I had gotten the pilates half ball - it looks like the BOSU, but smaller. The workout that came with it was uninspiring so I only did it once and it's been gathering dust. Maybe I should try a BOSU workout on the pilates thingy (I can't remember the correct name). That way I'll actually get some use out of it.

Hi Lisa, I didn't see this thread originally. I have a BOSU and love it! I use it for all kinds of things and I think I've become very imaginative! I am very leary of fitness gadgets and hesitated when I first was thinking about it, but I have had it now for over 2 years and have not grown tired of.

I have:
Bosu Cardio Fusion w/Rob Glick (I'm so-so about this)
Bosu Core Synergy w/Candice Copeland - good
Bosu Total Sports Conditioning - good
Mindy & Keli Explode and Burn (2 separate workouts) - I love this
CIA 2604 w/Seasun - I love this
Oh I also have a Gay Gasper one but I forgot the name.
Sometimes I take older less dancey step workouts and incorporate on the BOSU:
Cathe's Step Heat and Step Max and Reebok's Step the Video. It gives these a whole new intensity but you obviously have to modify some moves to work on the BOSU. I also use it for ab work when the ab work is on the floor, I do it on the BOSU which makes it harder (not always just if it works). Or sometimes, I use it in place of my stability ball for ab work. Once you start messing with it you can come up with all kinds of ways to use it. It's really fun and adds a lot of intensity if you're up to it!

Jo - your information is so helpful - I was wondering about the Rob Glick one because I have two of his step videos and I'm so-so about them, so will probably hold off on his Bosu videos for now. I was also wondering if I would be able to adapt any regular step videos - I have the ones you mentioned so I will try that too. Thank you so much.
