introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the BOSU® Elite by

WeckMethod. You have selected one of the most effective and versatile training

tools for developing athleticism and total body conditioning. The BOSU® Elite

enables you to integrate proper technique with total body conditioning by

combining the functional benefits of the original BOSU® Balance Trainer with

the WeckMethod™ training principles of optimal body mechanics, total body

symmetry, and movement efficiency.

The BOSU® Elite incorporates a firmer dome material for greater stability during

high impact movements, greater instability for platform side up exercises, and

increased resistance that spring loads your body. It introduces specific visual

and tactile design elements to help you build a better athletic foundation.

You’ll notice it incorporates a Power Line™ and Power Zone™. The Power

Line™ is used to set your body in the best athletic position and establish proper

alignment from head to toe. Training in the Power Zone™ ensures you get the

most out of each exercise while maintaining athletic balance and control of your

center of gravity. The BOSU® Elite’s numerical reference points provide visual

cueing for specific programming and targeting desired areas of improvement.

In order to make sure you are using the BOSU® Elite safely and effectively,

please take a minute to read through this owner’s manual. You will find a safety

section, care and use section, and some good tips on helping you acclimate and

get started using your BOSU® Elite.
