BOSU^® is designed to challenge your balance, strength and coordination. Whatever your sport is this rugged workout of sports drills, weights, jump rope, boxing, circuits and interval training will improve your stamina. Most class exercises use the BOSU half ball platform, which is a semi-spherical inflated bubble on one side and a hard plastic surface on the other. Drills are done in a sports conditioning format, allowing participants to work the drill to the best of their ability.
