Bosu Ball Exercises : Bosu Ball Exercises: Lunge & Lateral Raise

[johnkeys51]

I almost turned this off when I saw that it was from Expertvillage. Most of the videos I have seem from them have been so bad that they were laughable. But this was actually very good.

I've been going to physical therapy and have done Bosu ball lunges with and without a twist. I like the way you broke this down, and am going to give it a shot. ~Eric

Im a trainer and reading these comments, seems to me allota people saying this is a waste of time are 100.5 percent wrong.. hypertrophy is definetly strength training but take a look of the size of this awsome trainer.. better yet laterial raises do not require alotta weight especially in her case.. i consider this VERY CREATIVE.. functional yezzz.. untill you step on a bosu ball wit out weights then u need say nothing here.... this iz n excersize u do at the end of your shoulder work out...

[queen1priss]

Shoulder raises should be done "in the scapular plane" = scaption. This is a more functional (and safer) movement pattern. Arms are lifted in a wide V, thumbs up.

[panadance]

she is lifting the weights too high and might cause nerve impingement.. cant' tell you how many people i have to treat die to this kind of injury.. sooo frustrating.. otherwise she' sa decent trainer, but her form just blows.. I'm also a CPT and a CMT..People need to be more careful with their form!

[montybetancour]

Congratulations! Excellent demonstration of a more functional variety of static lunges. Keep up the good work! It might be useful for viewer to know that this is a more fairly advanced variation of static lunges.

If you don't have a bosu you can use your boyfriends belly as a bosu

[143yor]

lol thats puttin it to good use and should be a good message to get rid of it lol lmao

[pariapsara]

@melnorm hahahaahah

Why are you winded from such a short demonstration?

[MsCruzan]

This is a great exercise except that her front foot needed to be placed more towards the center of her BOSU. Some folks commented on whether this would build strength. Yes this will build strength especially muscular endurance. However, if you are looking to put on size, hypertrophy, this won't do it.

[sooom16]

the REASON why these are retarded is because your not gaining ANY strength from doing this. save time? if your wanting to save time then weight lifting isnt for you. the point of strength is gaining weight on a static excersise, like a barbell squat, one of the best excersizes and the point of strength training add 5pounds per workout. strength training not for you?then go run outside and stop doing these excersises.

this isnt cardio, this isnt strength training, this is a waste of time.

[fangmama63]

your sumwat right.. but doing these paired together with a "strength training" (as you like to call it) regimine will result in a very explosive core and loads of balance...

[ksfair]

sooom16; I have to think you haven't actually done this movement. This is very difficult and challenges your entire core, glutes, quads, back etc. In this video she's using small weights because of her size. I invite YOU to actually do this with 20-25 lb weights for three minutes and then comment.

[Program51]

Its stability training. If you are training for SPORTS performance and you are not incorporating stability movements like this you are going to be behind the pack. The stabilizer muscles fire rapidly (especially the peroneals) causing overall strength increase and reduce the risk of injury.

[WoWbob396]

@Program51 that is what free weights are for! lol.

[EpicBiking]

Just a quick question for you sooom16..... are you a Personal trainer?

[mikeyc678]

you're an idiot

[FunctionalStrength45]

this is a split squat! Think, lunge is moving. Squat is stationary.

[Fitnessguru2009]

adding the lateral raise can save time and improves co- ordination so why not. sooom3 said Do real exercises i don't know what you mean mate your obviously just guessing i can't be bothered to explain why your wrong

[sooom3]

this stuff makes me rage so much. its just plain ridiculous. anyone that actually watches these videos

stop wasting your time and do real exersises.

[SmithM100]

um these exercises are great. they are good for balance strength plus they are functional

[comperic2003]

I agree, these exercises ARE functional. I can't tell you how many times I have had to lunge up a sand dune while laterally raising my groceries to avoid mooching hermit crabs.

[oopalonga]

@comperic2003 lmao you rule!

[labeachgal]

I love these videos! The woman who demonstrates is so specific and tells you how to avoid injury. She's so matter-of-fact and strong that it makes me feel very empowered. Thank you!

[e811]

why not just focus on the lunge on the bosu which is advanced enough that it needs serious focus for 90% of people? Why add shoulder raises?
