Excellent price for a valuable piece of exercise eqpt. I use it as part of a program designed to increase core strength and balance after major back surgery - it's terrific, a perfect compliment to the balance ball (a/k/a physio ball). I used the Bosu Ball in physical therapy and shopped around for the best pricing I could find on a Bosu Ball to use at home. It comes with a booklet of exercises to do - more can be found on the net - and to kick it up a notch, get a second Bosu Ball and use both at the same time. For more of a challenge after you have the basics mastered, flip it over, NOW try!

The Bosu Ball is an excellent piece of exercise equipment for anyone and everyone. One should be careful when beginning to use this product as you will tend to fall off of it. I suggest using it on carpet, rug, or exercise mat. Also, children, older adults, OR ANYONE who has severe balancing difficulties should have a partner to spot them, that is, let them hold your hand or your arm for stability. Never leave them alone when they are using the BOSU. The BOSU Ball is not a toy, and hence, should not be used as one.When I took an excercise class for fun, they had BOSU Balls available for us. I became determined to master this piece of equipment, and therefore, I practiced with it during every class. All you need to do is practice with it for 10 to 15 minutes a day (less if that suits you) and gradually, you become pretty good at mastering several of the excercises (and there are NUMEROUS ways to use the BOSU).My mother is 80, and she was thrilled when the BOSU arrived. I had taken video of myself while practicing using it in class. Mom and I use it daily (Mom needs my assistance), and WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It seems pricey; however, it is well worth the money. True BOSU's are very durable and easy to inflate (Mom and I use the hand pump). This product should last for years if taken care of and used properly.

This is a terrific piece of fitness gear and has an wonderful workout DVD included. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is the price. This is the cheapest I could find anywhere but let's get real: It's half an exercise ball mounted on a flat platform.

I bought the Bosu Balance Trainer because I have noticed in recent years that my balance is not as good as it once was (I'm in my 70s). I use it every morning while watching the news on TV. Been following the steps specified in the directions for becoming comfortable with it and I am improving. It is so convenient to be able to pick it up and put it where you want it. The quality is excellent. It took a few tries to blow it up and get the plug in the hole as fast as possible, but I succeeded.I love my Bosu. It is exactly what I had wanted.

My trainer has me using one at the gym. I decided to get one for the house. Everyone uses it. Very good for maintaining balance and fast twitch muscle tone which is important for us "over 50's" to maintain our balance and core strength.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!! EXACTLY THE SAME ONE I USED DURING THERAPY AT THE MEDSPORT CLINIC.

I first started using this at the gym. My trainer has me to use it for crunches, step ups, leg lifts, and standing squats. I bought one for myself and keep it at my office. I can get a 'mini' workout everyday. Using the ball keeps the stress off my back, it keeps my form correct. I would highly recommend it.

My physical therapist introduced me to the BOSU. It is excellent for strenghtening and stabilization. I've had surgery on my knee and the BOSU contributed to my recovery.

Recommended to me by my trainer at the gym to improve my balance (I'm in my late 50's) and have enjoyed it tremendously. Takes a while to get the hang of it; great results.
