BOSU is an acronym which stands for “Both Sides Up” due to the two ways a BOSU ball can be positioned. It’s a blue inflated rubber hemisphere attached to a rigid platform. It sometimes is referred to as the “blue half-ball”, because it looks like a stability ball / gym ball cut in half. invented in 1999 by David Weck.

The device is often used for balance training but can be used for so many different activities, all while working on endurance, strength, balance, and stability.When the dome side faces up, the BOSU ball provides an unstable surface while the device remains stable. This combination of stable/unstable allows a wide range of users, from the young, elderly, or injured to the elite level athlete. Adam Fowler likes to use it with his Personal Training clients.

Two postions are dome side up and dome side down. With the dome side up, the device can be used for athletic drills and aerobic activities. Dome side down the device is highly unstable and can be used for a wide array of exercises as well.
