BOSU facts you might not know... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. BOSU is an acronym for Both Sides Utilized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Using the BOSU will not help with your strength. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Doing sit ups on a BOSU is only slightly more effective than doing them on the floor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. BOSU is great for balance and some rehab, but can actually make weak ankles worse if you don't use with a trained professional. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A little background: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before 1999, some trainers and therapists would use a full stability ball (Swiss ball, physio ball, etc.) to challenge balance by having clients sit on it, roll around on it, and occasionally stand on it. Some people squatted on it and Darwinism weeded out those that deserved to live and those that deserved a concussion. Congratulations Michael Toussaint on surviving the test!! 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This new half-ball, the BOSU, was slightly more stable and more applicable to the masses. . . . . . #LeslieMaltzFitness #bosu #bosutrainer (at Leslie Maltz Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4NXrT9DawK/?igshid=19jt7sdue6pna
