BOSU Programming...a note from Peter Twist

I am back from California from working with a stellar team of sport and fitness leaders on Bosu programming. Inspiring days immersed with Group Xers Mindy Mylrea and Jay Blahnik, all round Douglas Brooks, program leader Candice Brooks, multi talented Kelli Roberts, football coach Todd Durkin, all high energy teachers and first class people - true professionals. For myself, with a focus on multi directional, anaerobic based sports, learning from other disciplines is always an interesting opportunity.

The Bosu Balance Trainer is the world's number one fitness accessory - and with most exercise professionals adopting Bosu in their curriculum, we are focused on helping ensure application is always purpose driven. Our programming goal this past weekend was to generate intense workouts with heavy strength challenges which are fun and interesting to execute.
What is your approach? Most often, strength and body control with a unified, linked system that best sums power is my focus. How strength, movement and balance are integrated determines the relative focus on prime mover, stabilizer, capacity, reactivity, energetics, metabolic cost, load, etc. Our ultimate goal for athletes is applying and absorbing forces during more fluid movement and for general population pain free fluid whole body movement.

How do you Bosu and what part of your workout do you utilize Bosu?
