The BOSU Balance Trainer, a versatile fitness tool consisting of a half dome mounted on a platform, introduces instability into workouts by being utilized with either its dome or flat side upward.
Upper body exercises focus on major muscle groups such as the chest, back, shoulders, arms, and core, incorporating both compound movements like push-ups and rows as well as isolation techniques.
While optimal strategies to achieve these fitness adaptations remain consistent across genders, weight and repetition modifications are catered to individuals who approximate a height of 5'5", a weight of 140 lbs, and an age of 34 years.
Variations should always consider each participant's unique abilities.
