Bosu Ballast Ball By Morenita on Nov 14, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Working out with a Bosu Ballast Ball is ten times easier and more effective than just working out with a traditional medicine ball. The Ballast Ball is different because it is filled with a little bit of sand to provide you balance and stay where you put it. Like the name, it works like a ship's ballast to provide stability and support.

You can use the Ballast ball in all your regular exercises, even if you wouldn't ordinarily include a medicine ball in your workout you can incorporate it in. Used properly the ball acts as a core strengthener, you have to do a little extra work to achieve and then maintain each pose.

Along with the Bosu Ballast Ball is an instructional DVD that comes with an entire workout and focused exercises using your ball, make sure you take advantage of it and try out the new moves.
