BOSU Multiplicity with Greg Sellar Most clubs have at least two BOSUs, but few trainers take full advantage of the opportunities that this can provide. Not only does working out on the BOSU advance balance training in a fun and functional way, it can also improve awareness, proprioception and reaction skills. The three drills in this video draw on partner synchronicity, metabolic conditioning and auditory skills to highlight the versatility of this great training tool. Double your fun with Partner Pilates – Part 1: seated with Wendi Carroll In Pilates, we try to use opposing movements, like flexion and extension, to balance our bodies. In Partner Pilates, we can use our partners to assist or resist during an exercise. Both partners can receive benefits and provide feedback during the routines, e.g. ‘You’re pushing more on the right than the left.’ And best of all, working with a friend usually ends in fits of laughter …the best ab workout of all!
