It’s time to workout with one of my favorite pieces of equipment: the BOSU balance trainer. I love the BOSU because it is so versatile, easy to transport and challenging. Even if you do not have a a BOSU you can still do this workout at home or you can find the BOSU at your gym and try it out too.
Disclaimer: The following post is sponsored by BOSU via my partnership with Fit Approach (Sweat Pink). All opinions are, of course, my very own.
If you choose to do this workout (or any) with a BOSU, do not stand on the BOSU with the dome facing down. Exercises like push-ups, mountain climbers and planks with the BOSU down are okay, but do not stand on it with the dome facing down.
25- minute BOSU Workout
Let’s get to work with this 25 minute BOSU workout. Remember, you can do this even without a BOSU.
When you are doing your BOSU Heisman, make sure you are pausing when you land on your one foot and really engaging that core to bring the opposite leg up with your knee as close to your chest as possible.
As always, form comes first, and speed comes second. Slow down and focus on your form- you will benefit much more.

What a fun, great workout Hollie, thanks for sharing!!
What a great workout! I use the Bosu at the gym and let me tell you doing burpees with this thinks is NO JOKE!
Oh goodness, I feel like my abs would be on fire after this workout from all the balancing.
I taught something similar to this to my class on Tuesday and they all said their core was killing them on Wednesday.
I’m not participating in the BOSU challenge but what a great workout!
Love the Bosu and wish I had one at home! There’s just so much you can do with it!
I did dead lifts on my bosu today-killer! One of my faves. It’s so versatile.
Thanks for the idea. Going to try that with my students on Tuesday!
I can’t wait to use the Bosu after my little guy arrives as I work towards getting my pre-pregnancy body back. Only a couple more months to go.
The BOSU would be great for some quick, at-home workouts. Good Luck.
I’ve had my BOSU for years but this motivates me to shake up my routines on it a bit!
Me too! I love all the new stuff I am seeing. I have been using mine to teach for years.
This looks like so much fun! Seeing all these BOSU workouts makes me wish I’d got in on this one!
You can always join in on the fun.
Awesome workout! I’m loving all that I’ve been doing with the Bosu. I also love that it’s pink
Me too! I have used the BOSU a lot in the past and this is just making it even better!
This looks like such an awesome workout! I definitely need to invest in a BOSU for this winter and to start kicking my butt!
I will definitely be trying this workout! Pinning for later!
