>I haven't a clue as to what kind of exercise BOSU is ...
>could you explain just a little please ? thanks Rhonda :9
Hi Rhonda,
I've never actually used one, but I'll tell you what I've read. BOSU stands for "both sides up". It's basically 1/2 of an exercise ball mounted on a round platform. You can use both sides of it, depending on the exercise. It's used mainly for balance and stabilization. It seems like you can use it with a step workout in place of a step, making it lower impact since your step is cushioned; but I think this would have to be at a slower pace than normal. You can also do push-ups on it and use it for core training.
Overall, I think it seems pretty cool, but since it is so new, it's at least a $100 investment, at least until the novelty wears off.
