Grab a friend or loved one and try these heart-warming partner drills on the BOSU Balance Trainer.
BOSU Sit-Squat Hand-Off
Technique/Cueing Tips
Partners stand on BOSU Balance Trainer domes, facing each other, with one partner holding a soft-shell medicine ball. Both partners squat, then reach forward to pass the soft-shell ball back and forth.
Stabilize the core and ankles while balancing and keep the thighs parallel to the floor or slightly higher during the squat movement.
Progress the ball hand-off with both partners holding the ball and gently trying to pull each other off balance.
BOSU V-Sit with Foot Press
Technique/Cueing Tips
Partners sit on BOSU Balance Trainer domes facing each other with feet lifted and soles of feet touching. Both partners do a bicycle motion with the legs in opposition, maintaining foot contact. For more challenge, lift hands off dome.
Stabilize core and shoulder girdle to maintain good posture in the seated position.
Progress by tossing soft-shell medicine ball back and forth while pressing feet in bicycle motion
BOSU Partner Criss-Cross Reaction
Technique/Cueing Tips
Partner A stands on BOSU Balance Trainer dome and Partner B stands on the floor. Partners face in perpendicular directions to one another. Partner A runs laterally back and forth over the dome, choosing the number of repetitions. When Partner A stops and claps, Partner B runs laterally over the dome, stopping on either side of the dome and clapping when complete.
Stabilize core and maintain a state of athletic readiness while traveling and/or waiting.
Increase speed of movement and vary number of repetitions to challenge reaction time.
