    Default Has anyone seen/tried the Bosu Ballast?

    I've seen this new product advertised in several publications. It looks like a stability ball with sand in it. Has anyone seen one in person?

    Hey Christina
    Yes I saw it. They are trying to make a better mouse trap. it looks like a regular stability ball with some stuff in it to make it not roll around. they market as as being easier than stability balls because its more stable but isn’t that the whole point of the stability ball? I would think if somebody wanted a more stable device they might opt for a Bosu.

    I’m sure it has its place for people who are not ready for the stability ball but if I had to choose, Id still buy the regular balls we have been using for years.

    My thoughts exactly! I was sitting there looking at the site going, "Even *I* could have thought of that one." LOL!!!
