How many of you have discovered my friend the BOSU?  It’s by far my favorite piece of work out equipment of all time and that’s saying a lot since I was very close friends with the reebok step for years.  I love the BOSU at home, at the gym, for short or long work outs, for legs or for upper body.  Okay, I just love it.  You get the point.  I’m pretty skilled with the BOSU for my fitness level but some days I just can’t do anything with it.  Those are the days when I just can’t calm down my mind.  Balancing on a BOSU ball takes incredible concentration and that’s something I just can’t do when my to do list has escalated to the Nth degree.  There are days when I can stand on the BOSU and lift cable weights heavier than what I can standing flatfooted and then there are the days when I can’t even stand on it and balance with any weight.  What’s the difference?  Me.  It’s all in my head.  So, why is this showing up here?  The BOSU exercise and Work Life Balance are the same.  We can’t focus on balance unless we’re focusing on balance so I ask you, what are the processes you have in place to make sure you are making life balance a priority?  Perhaps you should buy a BOSU for home too because, believe me, just looking at it reminds me to get out of my head.

P.S. There’s one other great thing about the BOSU I just have to mention, it has endless ways to challenge your skill levels.  Go to YouTube and search for videos on the BOSU and you’ll see just how far you could push yourself with it.  (I’ve posted one of my favorite examples on my facebook page.  BTW, this is not in my repertoire for the record.)
