Balance boards were originally produced for skiers, then surfers and snowboarders to practice their skills in the off season. Today a balance boards are found in nearly every health club and are used for training for physical fitness and for non-athletic purposes.
As a beginner, the Bosu ball is the perfect starter balance board for you to challenge your core strength. A Bosu ball is a core exercise ball that looks like a blue Yoga ball that has been cut in half and mounted on a flat plastic platform. One side is half the ball, the other is a hard plastic platform. The ball is used in two ways: Flat side down which is more stable and ball side down which is more unstable. When the Bosu is placed with the ball side down it becomes a balance board when the user stands on the flat platform side.
The Bosu ball when laid on the flat platform side can be used exactly as a Yoga ball, in additional to traditional ball exercises, it can also be used as a step which is considered exercise ball core training because the instability of the half-ball challenges the core by being unstable.
