Bosu Core Challenge

Bosu Core Challenge
I am always looking for ways to challenge the teams I train.
When you are working with different fitness levels, it's not always an easy task. I have had great luck using the Bosu Balance Trainers to train core.
This exercise requires our team to balance on the Bosu's either in the kneeling, or seated position. Our team mate, Norm was in charge of 'chucking' the 4 pound med ball to the members and they in turn must 're-chuck it back to him. This might look, seem easy but it's actually not. It requires core strength and ninja focus to balance with the extra instability of catching/chucking the ball. The farther the member was away from Norm, the more of a challenge it was. Kelly was seated at an angle, so she had more rotation in her chuck. I especially like this exercise, because it is fun, the team always has a great experience and we finish feeling successful.
When training on the BOSU, it's amazing to me, how quickly our bodymind realizes what it is being asked to do and DOES IT!
Success breeds success!
