One of the best weight loss workouts involves using the Bosu ball. The Bosu ball is the blue dome half ball you see in workout facilities. It has a bubble, or dome, on the top and a flat bottom. As far as weight loss workout equipment, it is one of the best.

Bosu ball exercises can workout the whole body. Lower, middle and lower bosy workouts can be performed utlizing the Bosu. You can begin your leg workouts with squats. Like many Bosu ball exercises, you can perform this with the bubble up or down, depending on how difficult you want to make the exercise. You can perform a basic squat by simply standing on the top of the Bosu. Balance and strength will be required to get through the workout. If you want to add to the difficulty you can hold hand weights. If you want more advanced exercises, flip the Bosu over so that the dome is on the floor and the flat part can be stoods on. This makes balance key as well as strength. You could also pick up the Bosu and hold it over your head while you perform the squat.

Another leg workout is the lunge. With the dome side up take one step backwards from the Bosu. Perform the lunge by starting with either leg and lunge onto the top of the Bosu. Alternate legs as you do the exercise. As you perform this exercise you can hold weights.

Abdominal muscle are worked by middle body exercises. You can sit on the dome of the Bosu, with your feet on the floor, and do a simple sit up. You can lift your legs and do crunches, pulling your legs in to your chest then expanding them outward. The bicycle crunch exercise is but one movement that can be done on the Bosu. You will have to tighten your abs during each exercise as you work to kep your balance on the Bosu ball.

Upper body workouts with the Bosu include pushups. With your feet on the floor and your hands on the Bosu, perform the typical pushup. You can also place your hands on the floor and put your feet up on the Bosu dome to do pushups. Flip the Bosu over so the dome is on the floor and grab the outer edges of the flat side to perform more advanced pushups. Shoulder workouts can be added by performing a military press over your head with the Bosu. Weight loss exercises do not get much better than this.
