You can walk, run, step, hop, jump and leap on the BOSU Ball. Not only can these rhythmic activities be sequenced for an aerobic workout, they can be progressed or sequenced to challenge the anaerobic energy system as well. Whether you’re working at an easy, steady rate that can be maintained almost indefinitely, or pushing the intensity with anaerobic intervals, you’ll experience dynamic balance and stabilization challenges on a BOSU Ball. This type of training replicates the “real” aspect of sport and daily movement requirements, where cardiovascular training transfers to real-life movement. Challenging the body’s oxygen delivery and utilization (VO2) capability is not only effective on the BOSU Ball Balance Trainer, but the added elements of fun, stabilization, balance challenge and specific transfer to daily movement needs will make this type of training a favorite.             Sport Specific Training Sports conditioning, by its nature, is dynamic. The qualities of sports movement that can be trained with a 66Fit BOSU Ball include endurance and power, cardiovascular conditioning, agility, balance, proprioception and flexibility. You can accomplish specific transfers to almost any sport through a variety of static balance exercises and dynamic balance drills. The variations are almost unlimited. One, two or multiple BOSU Balls can be used to set up drill patterns for sports goals.           Core Stabilization Both core stabilization and trunk conditioning can take place in a variety of positions on a BOSU Ball . The abs work functionally in standing, kneeling, sitting, sidelying, prone and supine positions and can be challenged with traditional isolation or stabilization exercises, where the goal of the exercise is to maintain a neutral, properly aligned spine. Maintaining spinal alignment is important for low back health and sports performance, as is intentionally moving into and out of “perfect” or neutral posture.              Active & Passive Stretches Both active and passive stretches can be taught on a BOSU Ball, with balance assistance and/or balance challenges. Active stretches use the muscles of the body to move a body part whereas passive stretching uses gravity or an outside force to place a stretch on the target muscle(s). While standing or kneeling on the dome, you can get an active and dynamic stretch by moving the upper body lower, higher, to the sides or by reaching for and picking up cards from various locations on the floor, or by touching and/or relocating cones that have been placed in close proximity to the dome. Stretching on the a BOSU Ball can move from a static and passive approach to a dynamic, balance challenging and active approach. BOSU Balls are completely unique and multidimensional training device that integrates: Core Stability, Functional Sports Training, Balance and Proprioception. Training with the BOSU Ball creates a movement continuum from easy to incredibly challenging, from static to dynamic and from subtle balance adjustments to dramatic and highly reactive responses. BOSU Balls are used as a training tool by leading sports teams and athletes. It is also commonly recommended to patients by Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists.
