Practicing "Centered" Position
When you are comfortable stepping on and off the BOSU
dome in all directions, you are ready to practice "centered" position. Step up on top of
the dome, and place your feet about hip width apart or slightly narrower. Place your arms
out to the sides for balance assistance, or place the hands on your hips for more balance
challenge. Try to maintain good posture, with the knees "soft" (not locked) and the feet
as level as possible (See Fig. C). As you stand on the BOSU
CM you will feel your core muscles (abs and back) working to maintain balance. The
muscles in your feet and lower legs are also working hard. Relax and let your body find
the "path of least resistance." You will discover that it is impossible to stand completely
still! This is perfectly normal, and as your balance and coordination improve, your body
will become more and more efficient at maintaining balance.
For more challenge, turn your head from side to side, tilt the head from side to side (See
Fig. D), or close your eyes for a few seconds. These variations are very challenging and
may take time and patience to master.
