"ALICE MONSAERT: This move on the BOSU. On the BOSU, you can do strength moves as well as cardio. We're going to take one of our typical moves from a step class called "Over the Top" and do it on the BOSU. So I'm going to start on the side, step to the center of the BOSU, and step down to the other side. So, you're going over the top of the BOSU, that's where it gets its name from, okay? So start there, make sure that you feel comfortable, you're stepping to the center of the BOSU each time. Again, try not to look down at the BOSU. You have to get that awareness of where your feet are moving. And then, we're going to take up a notch so that we add a little cardio to it so it's a little quicker side to side. And I can elevate in the center or move it faster, a little syncopation. Again, what I'm attempting to do here is get the heart rate up and it's working, or I can just take it lift from side to side. So, that is my move called Over the Top, and again it's used for cardiovascular endurance exercise."
