Certified instructor description:
A great introduction to BOSU cardio that’s a lot more than just “how to” instruction — this is a non-stop workout that will definitely burn some fat. You’ll begin with a warm-up specifically designed to acclimate yourself to the BOSU’s unique dynamic, reactive surface. That’s followed by three diverse aerobic segments, each emphasizing a distinct movement style. First, it’s a blend of stabilization moves and classic step patterns (e.g. repeaters, squats, power knees, etc.). Second, you’ll get a medley of more “athletic” routines that skillfully utilize the BOSU’s bounciness (e.g. hops, jumps, pivots, squats). Finally, it’s a dance-influenced series, from mambos and chassés to spins and step touches. You’ll end with an energetic cooldown and some on-BOSU stretches. Requires a BOSU, a device that’s like half a stability ball mounted on a solid platform. Very clear hand and verbal cuing. ©2003. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Bosu: Cardio Fusion

BOSU Cardio Fusion with Rob Glick
I love the video. Easy to understand and follow. - posted by Evelyn on 4/2/2010
mixed review
Good workout -- got my heartrate up but some of the choreography was hard to follow. The sports drills are awesome and very straight forward. Segment 3 was a wash-out for me partly because I did not have the room to move around the bosu comfortably. - posted by Mary Anne on 8/8/2009
Fun & Challenging!
I am an advanced exerciser but brand new to the BOSU. I like Jari Love, Michelle Dozois and Kelly Coffey-Meyer workouts the best. This work out was a lot harder than I imagined. It was non-stop action from the beginning. It's fun and the time just flies by. Rob cues well and seems to have a warm, friendly personality. His back-up exercisers are pleasant and fun to watch. Chalene Johnson is one of his back-up exercisers. My heart rate was up and I was sweating a lot during the entire work out. I know I burned a lot of calories because the effort to stay on the BOSU is a workout in and of itself! I highly recommend this dvd with no reservation!!. - posted by Melinda on 8/9/2008
Awesome aerobic with less time!
I am an advance fitness chic who is no longer struggling with weight lost or get fit stuff. I am into toning and building muscle. My husband gave me BOSU ball for x mas. I thought it wont do anything for me bouncing around like that. LOL, But then I saw aerobic bosu at collage video. i gave it a try - no hope at all . I tried it and I WAS AMAZED.I usually do my cardio in the morning with 30-45 mnts treadmills/bike. Weight at night. I tried this video..Im not kidding, the first 15 minutes I felt like I was done with 40 mnts treadmil!!!! I was sweating like crazy, my heart rate jumps high faster than running. That is AMAZING. The choreography is quite complex tho. But it is also chalanging. even if you failed to follow it 100 you still get sweaty and breathless. So ladies... if you are looking for big sweat in shortest time, TRUST ME. This is it! - posted by Zara on 1/11/2008
well done Rob.
Just bought this with Gays Bosu dvd and much as I love everything Gay does I much prefer Robs.I got a much better workout from this I thought he was so professional the way he got your body used to the wobbly surface.Can you do another but make it a bit longer,i would def buy more of his stuff now.Big thanks - posted by Ann-Marie on 5/23/2007
Takes some time to get used to, but great!
I love this workout, but it took me a while to get to this point. The first few times I did it, I fell off the darn bosu so many times! I spent more time trying to stay upright than actually doing aerobics (I should note that I'm a terrible klutz, which is part of the reason I got a bosu in the first place, since they're supposed to improve balance and coordination). This is a great workout, though, that really gets my heartrate up and is a lot of fun. Don't give up if you hate it at first! Also, in contrast with what other reviewers have noticed, I prefer wearing my lower cut running shoes for this workout, as opposed to the crosstrainers that I wear for other aerobics tapes. I found that the side support in my crosstrainers sort of hurt and actually tripped me up - my ankles needed some room to move around! - posted by Marie on 5/15/2007

Wow
This is a great workout. It's challenging and a little scarey at first. You have to build up your confidance and then just go for it. If you hesitate you stumble. Also, you need sneakers with side support. I have done the workout three times now and I'm getting good at it now. I really love it and wish there were more. Sure hope there will be more Bosu videos to come. - posted by Peggy on 1/12/2007
Something a little different
This is a great workout. I have done the warmup and first two sections twice. I haven't had time to do the third section and frankly I am a bit afraid of the "dance" aspect since I prefer more athletic workouts and have two left feet. Rob's cueing is good, it gets your heart rate up and is harder on the muscles than your typical step workout. - posted by Leslie on 12/20/2006
This Bosu Workout Rocks!!!!
I have done this workout twice now, and am new to the bosu. I am at a strong intermediate fitness level. Well I just can't get enough of this workout - it is the best - challenging, fun, not boring, I love the way my balance, strength, agility and cardio is challenged in this workout. It is the best and I can't wait for more Bosu workouts from Rob Glick!!! (He's easy on the eyes, too!!!) - posted by Sandra on 11/13/2006
Gets your heart rate up
This is a fun workout. And it does get your heart rate going! The movemements in the last segment is a little more complex than I can handle, but I am still working at it. The workout does require alot of room because they move all around the bosu. - posted by Lon on 2/26/2005

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
