BOSU NexGen 25IN Home Fitness Exercise Gym Strength Flexibility Balance Trainer with Rubberized Non

BOSU is the BEST! Such a versatile thing, for Core, Balance, Abs, Booty, Heart
The first one I ordered didn’t hold air. It was flat by morning, every time we re-inflated it. Amazon was great about the return. I debated whether to order a replacement or get a refund, worried that the new design was faulty. I went with a replacement and am GLAD I did! The new one arrived 2 days after the old one was returned and we’ve had it a week with no re-inflation required.PROS – The ridges make this stable to stand on.I’ve been collecting YOUTUBE videos for BOSU workouts. Originally, we bought this for balance as we are getting up there in years and have no interest in going to rehab with a broken anything. Balance does decline with age. It is GREAT for balance. You can create more challenge by flipping it upside down, for a rock-n-roll surface. pretty sure this won’t be happening here, as the dome top is challenging enough!I was surprised as the versatility of the BOSU. It is great for:1) Balance2). Ab work3). Leg work4) Booty5). Heart health/high intensity workoutMy personal favorites are PILATES with the BOSU. It is (almost) fun, or in the least, inspires me to do a great workout.Really, it combines the benefits of so many different pieces of equipment in one exercise piece.We used a bicycle tire inflator, as the thingy that came with was subpar. Also, the first time my husband tried to inflate, the mouth fell out loose and had to be retrieved with tweezers, but all is well. Just watch out for that.CONS – I have to put a blanket or towel over it when standing barefoot or putting my hands or body on it, because the ridges are hard and uncomfortable to bare skin or yoga pants. The towel solves the problemUse extreme caution when flipping upside down and trying to stand on it, as it is REALLY hard, and I am cautious about breaking bones from a fall. I used a long dowel to counter balance, but still found it too hard.I am super glad I purchased, and happy I went with the New Generation model, as it wasn’t much more than the older model and really is MUCH improved in durability and quality. Great home workout gadget.

Excellence
The BOSU NexGen 25IN Home Fitness Exercise Gym Strength Flexibility Balance Trainer is an amazing piece of equipment. Incredibly well built. The textured surface really makes a big difference.

Won’t Hold Air
Constantly having to put air in the BOSU. I had hoped that buying it from the BOSU store it would be higher quality and wouldn’t be a knock off. However, given the issues, I wonder if this is a 2nd quality item.

BOSU Ball Is Very Versatile and Challenging!
I am glad that I decided to purchase the BOSU ball after careful research and a recommendation from a physical therapist. It’s possible to do almost any type of training with this ball. There are many YouTube videos for exercise ideas and BOSU has its own channel. One of the most important things to do when setting up and inflating the ball is to not inflate it higher than 8.5 inches. The packing box has a line on the side at the bottom that you can use by turning the ball flat side up and lining it up with that line to let you know you’re at the proper inflation. Over inflating it causes it to pop out of its frame and also defeats the purpose of getting maximum use of its potential. I am 70 years old and purchased this as a tool for improving and maintaining my balance to avoid the potential for falling as I grow older. It has helped tremendously with strengthening my lower body and core helping me to feel more stable. I recommend this as a perfect tool for function based exercises. I’m so glad I made the purchase (It didn’t hurt that the day I finally decided to buy it was $30 less than normal!).

This is a good quality Bosu ball. I’ve worked out with it several times now; it has good grip for sweaty hands and feet while exercising. I’ve only used it for low impact and fairly basic barefoot routines, still have to try it with running shoes on but it’s a balance challenge no matter your footwear so keep your eyes on the Bosu ball while you’re working with it to stay safe. It’s nice and heavy enough to make overhead lifts and burpee type combo moves challenging. I’m happy with it overall. It’s pricey but I’m happy I chose to go with this Bosu ball rather than a cheaper model. It’s well ridged and as stable as I believe a Bosu ball could be (keeping in mind it’s meant to be a balance challenge so always watch your footing when you’re working with it!)I didn’t receive any DVDs with this purchase and didn’t notice any d/l information of routines to follow from the manufacturer but there are plenty of good exercise routines on YouTube to follow. Choose a beginner routine for your first time until you feel more comfortable with the Bosu for sure.The ball was relatively easy to inflate; the pump that comes with it is cheap but does the job. Would be helpful if the ball came with an extra plug or two and a plug pull as well. Those are pretty cheap but very helpful items for the manufacturer to consider including as part of the package in the future. Again, I found YouTube videos helpful with advice on how to fill the ball when you first get it.Overall, a good purchase and I’m pleased with the quality and usability of this product.

Non c’è nulla di meglio per allenare l’equilibrio e non solo. Consigliatissimo!!!!Apprezzo molto anche il nuovo disegno non più liscio
