BOSU - Love it or waste of money?

Rob Glick has a fun and challenging BOSU workout:

If you go to collage video and type in BOSU in the 'key word' field you'll come up with about 7 DVD workouts.

HTH.

I have the regular size Bosu. I use it mainly for Core work and Balance work. It is a great way to strengthen the core. I totally feel it intensely using a Bosu. Balance work is intense also.

It only takes a few minutes to do. I usually add it to the end of a workout.

I might use it in place of a high step in something like HSC or HSTA - but not in place of a full step.

I've used mine twice now. Tried the DVD that came with it, which is more of an instructional DVD - it's not what we'd call a serious workout, but it was good to get acclimated to the BOSU and see some of the different ways it can be used. Then Sunday, I used it with HSC. Love it! I'm still feelin' the DOMS. And I completely see the point about it being worthwhile for pushups and abs alone. I can't do very many pushups on the stability ball, but I can using the BOSU (round side down) - what a challenge. I will definitely be getting my money's worth out of this one.

Amy's hi/lo dome workout and CIA 2604 are on the way, so I'm looking forward to trying Bosu-specific workouts, but like Christine, I see this being used with any of the high-step workouts.
