GETTING STARTED
ACCLIMATING TO THE BOSU
BALANCE TRAINER
®
SURFACE
Before you begin the BOSU
Balance Trainer Workout, it's important that you feel
®
comfortable stepping on and off the dynamic surface of the dome in all directions.
Practice slowly stepping up on top of the dome. Then, walk forward off the dome and
onto the floor. Repeat a few times, making sure that you alternate legs (See Fig. A
and Fig. B). When you are comfortable stepping up and down in a forward direction,
practice stepping up and down from the side of the BOSU
Balance Trainer. Finally,
®
step up on top of the dome and down to the back. Step on and off with control, and
always stay within your comfort range.
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE LOSING YOUR BALANCE AT ANY TIME WHILE
STANDING ON THE DOME, SIMPLY STEP OFF THE BOSU
BALANCE TRAINER
®
SAFELY TO THE FLOOR. When following any of the BOSU
exercise videos,
®
acclimation exercises are demonstrated.
