What is a Bosu Ball exercise?
A Bosu Ball, a rubber ball that is partially inflated and fastened to a level surface, is used in this workout. By producing an unstable training surface, it is intended to improve stability, flexibility, core strength, and balance. This fitness gadget may be used for the following common exercises:
• Squats – Standing on the dome side to improve lower-body strength and balance.
• Push-ups – Placing hands on the Bosu for an extra challenge to the core and upper body.
• Planks – Holding a plank with forearms or hands on the Bosu to engage the core muscles.
• Lunges – Placing one foot on the Bosu while lunging to build stability and leg strength.
• Jump Squats – Jumping onto the dome for explosive power and coordination.
Benefits:
The head of physiotherapy at PSRI Hospital in New Delhi, Dr. Lakshay Bhaktiani, claims that this workout targets many body parts and offers several advantages. One of the main benefits is that it uses its curved surface to improve stability and balance. Coordination and stability may be greatly enhanced by exercises that include standing on one leg or other balance-based actions. It works well for core strengthening as well. Because they put more strain on the core muscles, exercises like crunches and sit-ups done on the BOSU ball are more beneficial than those done on a flat surface, he continues.
Additionally, it is a great tool for strengthening the lower and upper extremities. Exercises like lunges, squats, and push-ups that are done on the BOSU ball activate more muscle areas than those that are done on conventional flat surfaces.
