The inflatable dome on top of a solid platform helps you strengthen and coordinate your body. Workouts target core muscles in the abdominal and back areas. You can build strength, trim and tone.
This Bosu Training System includes a workout video, pump and exercise manual.

- Complete all the exercises, one after the other (one set) for a short, total body workout.

It’s normal to shift to keep your balance, but make sure you don’t slump. If you feel too wobbly, hold onto a wall for balance or take out any jumps thatmake you uncomfortable.
