10) Start out slowly and progress sensibly. Before beginning any workouts, become acclimated
with the dynamic surface of the BOSU
off the dome, practicing the "centered" position, etc. as pictured on pages 11 and 12. Once you
become acclimated, start with the beginner workout and become familiar with all of the exercises
before moving on to more advanced workouts or exercises.
11) The dynamic surface of the BOSU
training in a number of ways but it is important to remember that it is still highly unstable and the
potential for a fall that may result in injury does exist. Move slowly and with control throughout
the workout. To reduce the likelihood of a fall, simply step off of the BOSU
Sport 50 CM safely to the floor if you feel that you are losing your balance at anytime.
12) Standing on platform is not recommended. It increases the risk of a fall resulting in
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
13) Make sure the BOSU
adequate clearance space around you. You should have enough space to lie in a face up, face
down, or side lying position on top of the dome, and to be able to step off safely in any direction.
Make sure that if you lost your balance and fell, you would not hit any nearby objects. To
reduce the risk of injury if a fall were to occur, use a mat or exercise pad on wood or other
hard surfaces.
14) Wipe sweat off the vinyl surface of the BOSU
each use and while working out as needed. Similar to a wet basketball floor, sweat will make
the dome surface slippery. Use a towel to wipe sweat off the dome if necessary. A dry BOSU
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM provides for a safer and more effective training environment.
15) Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise, such
as walking, followed by stretching.
16) Cool down after an exercise session, with 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise, such as
walking, followed by stretching.
17) The BOSU® Balance Trainer Sport 50cm is not a toy. To prevent injuries, adult
supervision is required. Follow these simple rules:
– Keep unsupervised children out of rooms where you have your exercise equipment.
– Store exercise equipment in a room that can be locked.
– Know exactly where your children are when you work out.
– If you have small children at home, don't wear headphones while you work out.
– Talk to your kids about the dangers of exercise equipment.
18) When storing the BOSU
direct contact with any other surfaces. The dome needs to breathe to prevent sweating (i.e. an
oily residue may appear on the dome), which can cause the dome to be slippery increasing the
likelihood of a fall resulting in injury. If the dome does sweat, follow the cleaning instructions
on page 9.
