I almost always have new clients ask, “what is that half-ball thing, and how do I use it?”.

Well, that crazy piece of workout equipment is called a BOSU Trainer, and it’s one of my favorite pieces of equipment to target your abs and your core. The whole idea of the BOSU is to create and unstable surface, making your core have to work harder to maintain balance. This means double trouble for the area that just about everyone is dying to slim down.

But BOSU’s aren’t only great for ab workouts, you can also get a great cardio workout with them too. For example, this BOSU HIIT Workout gets your heart rate up AND strengthens your lower or upper body.

Not to mention, there are a lot of great flexibility exercises that can be done on the BOSU — I actually love doing some Pilates on the BOSU. This is why BOSU’s are becoming more and more popular in gyms and home gyms because there are SO MANY different things you can do with them. 

Here is one of my favorite BOSU core workouts that will target all of the muscles in your midsection! It will help to strengthen your abs, back, and glutes for better stabilization and posture! Enjoy!

  • BOSU Sit Up, Stand Up – Start laying on the BOSU with your hands reaching over head and your legs straight. Using your abs, curl yourself up into a sit up as your bring your knees in so that your feet are flat on the ground. Then use your abs and legs to push all the way up to standing. To lower back down, squat all the way down to sit on the BOSU and reach your arms in front. Roll your spine over the BOSU to lower all the way down reaching hands over head and legs straight in front. Then repeat 20 times.
  • BOSU Knee In & Extend – Start in your plank position again with your hands on the flat surface of the BOSU. Then pull your RIGHT knee into your chest using your abs. Extend your RIGHT leg all the way out and up squeezing your butt. Lower the leg down to your plank position and then repeat on the LEFT. Complete 10 repetitions on each side for a total of 20.
  • BOSU Side Plank Leg Lift – Start in a side plank position with the flat surface down and your elbow on the round surface. Have your feet stacked and lift yourself up from your core. Lift your top leg up and squeeze your outer hip muscles. Lower down with control and make sure to keep the rest of your body still. Repeat for 20 repetitions on your RIGHT leg and then repeat 20 repetitions on your LEFT leg.
  • BOSU Back Extensions – Start laying your stomach on the round surface of the BOSU and dig your toes into the floor. Bring your hands behind your head and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Keeping your abs tight, then lift your upper back up into an extension and squeeze all of your upper back muscles. Relax your muscles and lower down over the BOSU. Repeat for 20 repetitions.
