Tank Top Arms

LOOOOOOOVE the bosu!! Oh and by the way, I really like the bosu too :-) Have you heard of it? No it’s not a detox plan, or a dance move. It’s a ball. Well, a half ball. Actually, a half ball with a flat base. Oh geez, below is a bosu!The BOSU trainer, which means Both Sides Utilized, is designed to encourage muscle fiber recruitment. The unstable nature of the ball demands fiber recruitment in the muscles in order to maintain balance and support. Nowhere is this more on display than with leg workouts! This single piece of equipment is fantabulous and   can be added to any exercise routine through cardio, strength training, core, and flexibility. Once a week, I use this for my entire strength training session. Talk about burning calories! Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve gotten pretty darn good at flipping it upside down, and doing one legged squats and dead lifts with minimal movement. Yeah, I know…pretty cool :-)

You want some HOT legs? The bosu trainer will sculpt them bad girls into next year! Remember that your legs run from your tush all the way down to your ankles. Don’t kid yourself….real men like curves, and when the curves are toned, even better! Aside from legs, you can work on your upper body as well. Push-ups, shoulder presses, lat raises and core. Please, please please visit BOSU exercises!! This page has TONS of info on this magic tool. By far, it is one of my favorite pieces of equipment to use in the gym, at home and at the office. Not so easy to travel with, I admit, but the other three places covers most of us. I can confidently say that I don’t have any problems wearing my bathing suit without a lower cover. It’s true. I have seen such awesome changes in my legs. Not to mention my core too! I’ve incorporated so much balancing exercises in conjunction with legs on the bosu that not only is the tone there, but I feel so much stronger. And THAT’s a great feeling :-)
