Fit Friday- Bosu Ball Workout


Happy Friday! Ashley and I were a little too excited for our workout at the YMCA this week. It's such a comfortable and relaxed environment to workout in. They're having a $75 off deal on their memberships... check it out here.

Have you ever seen those blue half size stability balls around your gym or in the group exercise room? Those things are a called a Bosu (pronounced: bow-sue) and they provide for some great workouts!  Sometimes it's intimidating to walk into a crowded room full of tons of equipment and machines. This workout only requires one piece of equipment. You can grab a Bosu and find your own little space in the gym to zone out and do your thing. The workout below is for intermediate-advanced fitness levels, so make sure you work your way up to this workout. For now practice standing on the Bosu on both the ball and flat base side. You can use a wall to help with balance.

1. Bosu squats (25 repetitions)
2. Bosu push-ups (12 repetitions- modify if needed)
3. Bosu mountain climbers (30 sec.)
4. Bosu split squat (12 repetitions each side)
5. Bosu tricep dips (12 repetitions)
6. Bosu side steps (30 sec.)

Complete 2-3 sets.


**It's Ashley.... I did this workout with Brooke and it was so, soo good. She's been helping me get back into my workout routine. It's been hard this week, but I know I will feel SO much better once it becomes a habit again. Feeling healthy just feels BETTER! We can do this!
