Half Ball Home Balance Exercise Trainer for Strength and Flexibility Workouts with Built to Last Burst Resistant Material and Hand Pump

Fellow fitness adventurers and those who occasionally trip over their own feet, let me introduce you to the BOSU NexGen Half Ball Balance Trainer. I saw this thing and thought, "A wobbly dome? How hard can that be? It's just half a ball!" My balance, apparently, heard this and decided to stage a protest. When this arrived, it was exactly as advertised: half a ball on a sturdy base. It looked innocent enough. I inflated it (which, side note, the included pump makes surprisingly easy, no lung-bursting required), and set it down. It just sat there, looking like a large, slightly smug mushroom. Stepping onto it for the first time was... an experience. It's like the floor suddenly decided to become a trampoline that's also on a boat during a mild earthquake. My ankles immediately started doing a frantic chicken dance, and my core muscles, which I previously thought were just decorative, suddenly woke up in a panic. It was less "graceful balance exercise" and more "me trying desperately not to fall over while questioning all my life choices." BUT. And this is a gloriously wobbly BUT. It's incredibly effective! Standing on this thing forces every tiny stabilizing muscle in your body to engage. Squats become a whole new level of challenging. Push-ups? Forget about it (okay, maybe not forget, but they're significantly harder and make you feel like a superhero when you manage one). I've started doing lunges on it, which is basically a masterclass in controlled falling. The "NexGen" part with the textured quadrants is actually really helpful for grip and knowing where your feet are (crucial when you're concentrating this hard on not toppling over). It feels incredibly durable and stable, even when I'm wobbling like a human bobblehead. If you want to seriously challenge your balance, strengthen your core in ways you didn't know were possible, and add a healthy dose of unpredictable fun to your workouts, this BOSU ball is fantastic. It's a versatile tool that can make even basic exercises feel brand new and excitingly difficult. My core is confused but appreciative, and my living room is now a place where wobbling is not only accepted but encouraged. I'm thoroughly impressed with this bouncy challenge.

Love these!! So sturdy with better grip and love the aesthetic Look of the all black

This thing is solid, looks and works just like the one in my physical therapist's office. I got this to be able to continue and work on my balance and knees at home. It helps me to do all the exercises I've learned on my own. My kids love jumping and bouncing on it. It's so sturdy, doesn't seem to matter what they do. It's definitely worth the price. I like the all-black look compared to the silver and blue.

I love this thing. Makes sit-ups so much easier plus tons of other ways to use it.

Great American-made product—solid, updated with grip textured surface, easy to follow instructions in the online manual (that address most of the user error-based issues cited in negative reviews). The one limitation is the hand pump. Unless you want your first Bosu workout to be an hour-long one-armed pumping session, consider using a powered pump, like the excellent 18v Ryobi cordless inflator available elsewhere on this site or a hardware store near you. Pro tip—you’ll still need to look inside the hand pump to find the valve plugs (they give you 2 in case you lose or break one.)

Excellent quality product! First-rate materials and, best of all, made in the USA.

Great product, has a little trouble holding air

Simple and easy to setup. Seems excellent for focusing on balance issues related to a groin muscle injury. Many of my pre and off-season ski exercises also focus on balance and the bosu seems like an excellent way to activate all those little muscles. Used a floor pump to inflate (i had a narrow nozzle) in about 1 minute. Got the 'new' gen design made with polypro plastic. Seems very durable and plenty grippy, about as much as the traditional (probably rubber) one at the physical therapist.| The cheapo made-in-china provided pump I wouldn't use unless absolutely necessary. I'm sure it would take five times as long. And the "included manual and workouts" is a QR code, so yeah, that. But what do you expect? The device itself seems quality

Schnelle Lieferung,..sehr gute Qualität. Dank beiliegender Pumpe schnell aufgepumt.

Great piece of kit

Snabb leverans. Bra kvalitet

Me ha encanto el color pink de mi bossu, lo recomiendo al 100% ya que viene tal cual la descripción del enlace y en comparación con otros vendedores mi experiencia ha sido 10/10 ya que estuvieron al pendiente de la entrega de mi paquete y la caja venía totalmente sellada. Volvería a comprar sin duda alguna.

骨折して病院でリハビリで使用してたのですが、早く治したいので病院でリハビリがないときもできるように、自分で買って家でも使用して早く治りました。そのあともバランス、体感が鍛えれるので、買ってよかったです。 ちょっと高いですけどほんと良い商品と思います。
