Certified instructor description: A wide variety of unusually-effective, Bosu-specific toning followed by some “just plain fun” cardio. From squats and lunges to push-ups and kickbacks, these exercises use proven body-sculpting techniques. But each routine is carefully formatted to fully utilize the Bosu’s unique design. For example: push-ups with the dome-side down add intensity and require balance; dome-side-up kneeling moves provide a fuller range-of-motion while providing a cushion for your knees (due to the Bosu’s flexibility). The workout ends with a energetic aerobic segment that uses the Bosu’s bounciness to provide mini-trampoline-style fat-burning fun. A skilled, experienced instructor, Gay’s cue-ahead approach makes it all easy-to-follow. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2003. DVD has:

Bosu: Reactive Strength and Power |
| ok |
| Not that great of a work out. It is ok, I was looking for something more challenging. - posted by Stacey on 1/26/2012 |

| Excellent Workout! |
| This workout is excellent - it is fast paced, challenging and includes a nice variety of exercises with excellent instruction by the instructor. It forces me to engage all muscle groups to maintain my balance and good form. Only thing I think could be improved is to include frequent reminders on squats etc., to not let the knees go beyond the toes. - posted by Marjorie on 10/13/2011 |

| Great teacher, great challenge |
| This is a workout to work up to. Geared toward fitness instructors, but definitely one that works at home for individuals too. 3 different workouts can each be done on their own. My heartbeat got a boost just from the warmup. Fun moves I haven't used on the BOSU before. - posted by Michelle on 11/18/2010 |

| Bosu Ball |
| This was a very intense workout. Not suitable for someone who is not used to the Bosu ball. Some of the jumping moves were pretty hard. - posted by Peggy on 5/20/2010 |

| balance is key |
| Gay has a wonderful teaching manner that is encouraging & motivating. She has a nice banter with "team," Mindy Mylrea & Gregg Cooke. This is from the "pro" series and Gay introduces it as a workout for those who teach classes or have clients, so it moves quickly between segments. You should be comfortable with all aspects of the BoSU before trying this w/o. Weights are used in both the lower & upper body segments. Both segments incorporate some cardio -- lower: squats and crossing over the dome, upper: squat thrusts -- in addition to the power leg segment, which is pure cardio with jump sticks, tuck jumps, squat switches, etc.. She ends with a nice stretch. There's always room to improve with the BoSU: increasing weights, arms in different positions, pivots, etc... to keep this a challenging w/o for a long time. - posted by SMT on 1/31/2010 |

| A good break from the barbell |
| I was getting tired of the barbell workouts and this gave me the change my body needed. I was able to feel body parts worked that I didn't feel with the barbell. This video was fun and the time flew by. I'm going to purchase more bosu workouts. - posted by Delores on 5/11/2008 |

| Fun Workout |
| WOW! I have had this workout for two years now and I still enjoy it! I had not done it for a while and got it back out and had a great time. I do up my weight when doing this workout. Beginner go light, it takes some getting use to the balance challenge. Gay does a great job teaching this workout. Her cueing is terrific. This is one of my favorite bosu workouts. - posted by Jennifer on 1/2/2008 |

| NOT for beginners! |
| Although this is a great workout for an elite BOSU trained athlete, the BOSU makes it not just difficult, but dangerous if an inexperienced or even fairly experienced person attempts some of these exercises. They are done at a such a fast pace, that most of the workout is missed while regaining balance or trying to understand Gay's combinations. Segment III seems extremely advanced. - posted by Merri on 9/12/2007 |

| Fun Workout |
| I really liked this workout! It was alot of fun! I have several bosu workouts and this is the one I pull out most often. Gay is a wonderful instructor and I liked the flow of the workout. It is not an intense workout but I feel great afterward. One negative note, even though I know you are working your core, I just wish it had an ab section. - posted by Jennifer on 1/25/2007 |

| Challenging |
| This is another great BOSU workout. It will challenge your muscles and your balance. While not advertised as a cardio workout it does raise your heart rate. If you have never tried a BOSU workout be aware that your feet and ankles will be a bit sore when you first start using it for leg and aerobic work. A fun and challenging workout. - posted by Leslie on 12/20/2006 |
