BOSU Fitness
One of my favorite pieces of equipment is the BOSU, which means Both Sides Up, or Both Sides Utilized. There are probably a hundred or more ways to use this thing if you’re really clever. I like how it challenges stability while standing, laying or sitting on it, as it recruits more core and ‘balancing’ muscles. Many of you have used this with me dozens of different ways, the flat side and the soft side. You’ve experienced how effective it is in supporting your back when horizontal, allowing safer, greater range of motion when working on those abs! It’s great for novice to seasoned exercisers. No, I don’t get a kickback from the BOSU folks; I’m just plugging an effective and fun tool, if you’re considering purchasing something and not sure what to get. This is just one of many options for home equipment that I’ve discussed on this blog. I will continue to update with new ideas; feel free to email me with any questions on this or other “stuff” you may want to purchase, (or already have and don’t know how to use).
Warm regards,
Margo

I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.
