Should I get a BOSU?

On the fence, should I get a BOSU? Do you have home or commercial? How much did you pay for yours? Which DVDs have you enjoyed the most with yours?

YES!!! I love my Bosu!!
Most recently I used it in place of my step for BM2 cardio. So much fun!! I think I paid around $100 with a $20 gift card rebate at target. So $80. Kohls has them too and if they're on sale and you have a coupon you can get them for as low as $70.

Yes! I have the regular size BOSU. It is the best piece of fitness equipment I bought last year and has worked my core like nothing else. Paid $100 at Target before they started running the $20 gift card offer. Favorite workouts: BOSU Ski Conditioning and CIA 2604 with BOSU Blast by Seasun Zieger. Killer core work on that one. I've also done the high step workouts and Basic Step using the BOSU and use it for as much ab work as I can. It's great dome-side down for pushups and planks.

Yes. Get a BOSU. Now. Get thee to the Target. Do not pass go.


The BOSU is a great substitute for a step on some of Cathe's workouts, too. Or to use it in place of the high step in some workouts. I haven't fully explored this possibility, but I have used the BOSU in place of the step in LowMax and the step portion of Step, Jump, and Pump and a couple of the 'beginnier' workouts whose names I can't remember right now.

I have also used it to do lunges and squats as well as some ab workouts (instead of a balance ball).

Yes, I'm in agreement with everyone else. Get a BOSU. I ordered one from some place (I can't remember) but it was $99. I have used 3 videos with the BOSU and all of the are from Mindy Mylrea. They are Explode, BOSU Total Sport Conditioning and Awesome Strength. I have done Explode and Awesome Strength and loved both of them.
