Have you ever seen those half-dome, squishy-looking contraptions at the gym and wondered, “What on earth is that?” Well, it’s the Bosu ball—a versatile piece of fitness equipment that looks like someone sliced a stability ball in half and mounted it on a flat platform. It’s named after “Both Sides Utilized,” reflecting its dual functionality. You can use the flat or dome sides to perform bosu ball exercises challenging your balance, strength, and coordination.
Typically, you may find Bosu balls in a gym’s deep, dark corners collecting dust, but it may be time to polish it up to help crank up your workouts.
