Whether five minutes is all the time you have, or you are looking for a little extra push in May, here are some five minutes faves from my BOSU^® Metabolic Disruption class. My clients always have workouts like these in their “at home toolboxes” to supplement the workouts they do with me or other trainers at the club. Now you do too! If you’re thinking you don’t have time, you definitely have five minutes. If you’re thinking, “What? I can’t possibly get anything done in five minutes,” give it a shot with all you’ve got – and you can make the magic happen!

Looking to spice up your BOSU^® Balance Trainer routine? There are no two ways about it, using TWO Balance Trainers together can increase the level of difficulty, elevate your heart rate, and further challenge balance and coordination. Double it up this month with a few new BOSU^® exercises! 

Think carefully about the clients you will inspire with each exercise or drill. Contemplate why you have chosen the exercise and how you will cue it to ensure success. Will you progress or regress with speed, range of motion, or duration? How do you want it to feel? Smooth? Controlled? Explosive? Would you like the client to achieve a certain level of fatigue or breathlessness in a particular amount of time? There are always several ways to increase or decrease intensity so be deliberate with instructions and goals.

There’s a reason my clients grab a BOSU^® Ballast^® Ball instead of a standard stability ball. Let’s chat!

The ball is made out of a high quality, translucent material. I’m pretty sure my clients don’t pay much attention to that, but they just know it looks and feels good.

Next, there is actually a design on the ball. Really. There are six sides with raised rings that are easily and effectively used to help with precise body positioning and alignment. Users appreciate knowing exactly how they need to be positioned for safety and performance.
