new bosu

[fikustree]

I really wanted to get a bosu, but I haven't yet because of the price. Today I saw this- Has anyone heard of it or tried it?

BOSU Sport Balance trainerBOSU has introduced two new balance trainers. Power Systems, Inc. offers the two new balance trainers online, starting at $59.95. The BOSU Sport 45 and the BOSU Sport 55 maximize programming options by allowing users to choose different stance options, and create a variety of floor configurations. The sleek, compact design of the BOSU Sport Trainers allow for easy storage , transportation and quick positioning for any type of workout.

Ooooh, I think I like those better! They look like they would be easier. The normal size BOSU is too tall for me and it's like doing step with all the risers. I typically only use one riser. Wish they had had this size when they first came out. I'm tempted to sell mine on ebay and get one of these!
(Plus they wouldn't take up as much space!)

I think BOSU was very smart to do this. The original one was too tall for me.

I like the smaller size and the smaller price.

I used to have a regular Bosu, but I took it back (bought it at Sportmart), because at 5'5" tall, it was too tall and too wide for me to use it for short box work in my Firm Workouts. I have been considering the Bosu Sport, but am not sure which one to go with 45 (inflates to 7") or 55 (inflates to 9"). I am leaning toward Bosu 55, but am just not quite sure. Does anyone have either 45 or 55 and can help with feed back.

Thanks,

The difference between the 45 and 55 is one inch, as they recommend 7 inches for the 45 and no higher than 8 inches for the 55 version. I'm leaning toward the 45, smaller, easier to store. (I quickly sold my big bosu due to it killed my feet, too wide/tall for my short frame)


Denise,
who is seriously thinking of ordering one but since I sold the bosu, I also got rid of all my bosu dvd's....oh my!!

Julia,

I only have the regular Bosu, but I think the height on it is 9 inches. It's been so long since I inflated it that I'm not positive, but I think it is. If that's the case, you might want to go with the 45. Just a thought...

so for those of you that have the bosu do you think this sport one would be a wise investment?

[horsemom2]

IMHO why not try the Yog Flex instead since it is much more versatile as well as cheaper?
