SPECIFICATIONS & PARTS
BOSU
®
is an acronym for "both sides up". The BOSU
®
Balance Trainer
can be used with the platform side either up or down for different types of
balance challenge. The solid platform is 25 inches in diameter, and the
dome should be inflated until it is firm. Two recessed handles on the
bottom of, and toward the sides of the platform,
make it easy to turn over or carry. This
fitness product has its foundation in the
field of medicine, as well as balance,
functional and sport specific training.
Neuromuscular physiology, which
helps define human movement,
provides the science that backs
this complete approach to training.
A Total Fitness Program is more than just exercise. It is a "fitness for
life" plan that goes hand-in-hand with an overall, healthy lifestyle.
This includes regular check-ups, healthy eating habits and exercise for
the rest of your life.
A total fitness program consists of four parts:
1. Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise to burn calories.
2. Strength conditioning exercises to tone and shape your muscles,
increase your metabolic rate and strengthen your bones.
3. Stretching exercises to keep you moving freely and help
prevent injuries.
4. A diet that is safe, sensible and healthy. (Refer to the enclosed
Eating Plan Booklet.)
Today, fitness research recommends both aerobic exercise and strength
conditioning to achieve the best results and balanced fitness. By
improving your aerobic fitness you will strengthen your heart and
lungs, improve your stamina and endurance. Strength conditioning
adds lean muscle to your body. This increases your body’s calorie-
burning ability by increasing your metabolism. As a result, your body
burns more calories, even while you rest. When you combine aerobic
workouts with strength conditioning, you can burn more fat and
calories when compared with aerobic exercise alone.
The BOSU
®
Balance Trainer workout can enhance your Total Fitness
Program by integrating balance training into aerobic and strength
exercises, as well as stretching. You should also make healthy,
low-fat eating a big priority.
CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN about an eating plan that’s
right for you. Healthy eating habits and exercise will help you reach
your goal. We recommend that you follow dietary guidelines approved
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
