Step 1
Join a BOSU fitness class. Many gyms now offer group fitness classes that incorporate BOSU into the exercises. In addition to having a BOSU provided for you, you also get the benefit of having a group fitness leader who can guide you through the exercises. The group fitness leader should check your positioning to ensure that you are getting the best possible workout on the BOSU.

Step 2
Purchase a BOSU for your own use at home. Specialty sporting good stores and fitness supply stores generally carry or can order a BOSU. You can also order a BOSU from the official BOSU website.

Step 3
Exercise with the bubble side up. Just standing on the bubble causes your body to exercise as you naturally try to regulate your equilibrium. You can use the BOSU like a cardio step. Other ways you can exercise include using the BOSU for lunges, crunches and trunk flexion.

Step 4
Balance on the platform side. With the bubble side down, the platform becomes an unstable area that rocks on the bubble. Exercise your body by finding and maintaining your balance on the platform.

Step 5
Incorporate your favorite exercises. Almost any exercise that you can do can be done on a BOSU. By adding the BOSU, you create a new level of exercise. Not only are you working to complete the exercise, your body must also work to maintain its balance while you do so.

Step 6
Follow a workout video. There are a variety of workout videos specific to a BOSU. Several trainers have developed exercise programs using the versatility of the BOSU. The official BOSU website sells workout videos as well as the BOSU.
