Bosu Ball Workout

Don't know what to do with your Bosu Ball? Here are a few suggestions:
Lunges up on the ball. Step up with one leg, land squarely on the ball, bend both knees. Return to starting position. Repeat 15 times, then switch legs.
-Squats on the ball. Stand on the ball, find your balance, then squat deeply. Repeat 15 times.
-Crunches on the ball. Lie on the ball with your lower back fully supported, knees bent, feet flat on the floor and back arched over the ball. Extend your arms over your head, then crunch up with your elbows pointing to your knees. Work your way up to 100 crunches without rest.
Flip the ball over, dome side down.
-Squats on upside down ball. Stand with feet on the flat surface, find your balance and squat as deeply as you can. (It is a good idea to have a chair close by in case you need to grab hold of something.) Repeat for 15-20 repetitions.
-oblique planks. Start in a push up position with hands to the outside of the Bosu ball. Rock back and forth until fingers touch the ground. Keep abs tight. Do 15 alternating oblique planks.
Or if all else fails, you can use the Bosu ball for a place for the cat to curl up on.
