You all know I love to mix up my workouts otherwise this girl gets very bored. For years I have been rotating in some great moves with my Bosu and really the possibilities are just endless. I’ve put a few of my favorites together into one Bosu Body Blast full body workout perfect for Workout Wednesday or any day of the week. Happy Sweating!
Here’s a quick how to do this Bosu Body Blast:
All you need for this workout is a Bosu and a set of medium weights. After a quick 10 minute warm up with the cardio of your choice, run through each set of exercises twice for a sweaty, full body workout.
Side lunges: Stand to the right side of your Bosu. Step your right foot onto the Bosu driving your weight onto your right side then pushing up through the heel of your right foot. Maintain your posture with your head & chest up. Repeat on left side.
Dead lifts: Weights optional. Find your balance in the center of the Bosu perform a stiff legged dead lift setting hips back and keeping a neutral spine. Use your hips/butt to lower you down and back up.
Jump on/off: Standing behind your Bosu, bend your knees and jump up onto Bosu and then back down. Alternatively do a step up and down for a lower impact.
One legged Bicep curl: Find your balance atop the Bosu and lift one leg. From that position perform your bicep curls while keeping your core engaged. Switch legs on the second round.
Squat w press up: Find your balance atop your Bosu with legs hip distance apart. Perform a squat and while you come up press your weights up above your head.
Crunches: Sit with your butt right in front of your Bosu and with your middle back on the Bosu perform a traditional crunch move.
Jack knives: Sit in the middle of your Bosu using your hands to balance (or with then folded across your chest) perform your jack knife extending your legs out and back in keeping your core engaged.
Mountain Climbers: Flip over your Bosu and find your balance in a plank position. Alternate bringing your knees in and up to your chest.
Push-ups: From your plank position on the Bosu, perform your push up keeping your form.
The Bosu is one of my favorite pieces of equipment in my home gym. The possibilities are really endless on what you can do with it. Hope you give this Bosu Body Blast a try and let me know what you think.
Tell me: What’s your favorite Bosu move? What should I add to my workout?

My trainer has me doing burpees using a Bosu. I do the push up with my hands on the hard side, then stand up holding it into a press above my head. Ouch!

Deborah Brooks says
Yes they are great for that too

Fantastic! I have wanted a BOSU ball for a long time, but only played with them a little when I used to have a gym membership. I get bored with my workouts too and I have to switch it up or I become so unmotivated!
Deborah Brooks says
Same here! I have to switch it up for sure

It really is great!

This looks like a great workout! I haven’t tried a Bosu, but this post might just have inspired me to get out and buy one! It’s so much easier to get a workout done at home rather than having to drive to a gym.
Deborah Brooks says
It is a great versatile piece of equipment to have at home
Debbie says
I love Bosu workouts! Especially for my clients! 🙂 In fact, I now have a plan of how to torture, er, train, a couple of my clients next time I see them!

Oh great glad to help out! LOl

Debbie @ Deb Runs says
When BOSU’s first hit the market, I took an hour and a half long class for trainers to teach us how to train with the BOSU. That class left me unbelievably sore for days!
Deborah Brooks says
They really are great pieces of equipment to work with

I need to add one of these workouts to my summer plan- time to mix it up!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it’s fun to mix it up sometimes

This is great! I need a new BOSU desperately. Mine died before i moved to Florida and I never replaced it, this workout makes me want to replace it.
Deborah Brooks says
I think you would like it!
