This review is from: Get On It!: BOSU Balance Trainer Workouts for Core Strength and a Super Toned Body (Paperback)

I have a part-time job delivering meals to mostly older people. A big problem for these people is loss of balance. A number of my customers have fallen! This is serious at their advanced age. Broken bones (especially hip joints) result in permanent disability and even death. I'm 72. My intent is to maintain my balance for as long as possible. The BOSU Trainer is a big help to me in doing so. I'd used the BOSU at Gold's Gym before I purchased the trainer for my home use and thus knew that it was a quality piece of equipment.

As a group fitness instructor, I'm always looking for new ways to use the equipment we have. This is a well illustrated guide to the versatility of the BOSU. Well written.

This review is from: Get On It!: BOSU Balance Trainer Workouts for Core Strength and a Super Toned Body (Paperback)

I just bought the Bosu unit for my home. I read the book and cannot wait to start. There are a few things I really like about this book. It explains all the moves.Secondly at the end of the book it provides a few routines, lists the pages for instructions and lets you know what areas of the body that the routine will help. A well written book.I would give it 9.5, the only thing that would have made it perfect was a workout chart to log exercises.
