Here are five common mistakes with Bosu balls:
1. Insufficient understanding of the target:
The purpose of using the bosu ball needs to be clarified. It’s stable, flexible, and stretchable, but high-intensity exercise can defeat your goals and increase your chances of an accident. In addition, it lifts the very heavy weights of ball tires faster than on a flat surface. Therefore, use this gear only if you have a clear goal.
2. Start with a more difficult task:
“Bosu balls also work on small muscles that are normally ignored in normal training. Therefore, especially if you are a beginner, you need to make advanced adjustments. You need to learn not only to do professional exercises but to do them slowly. A good way to get started is to just stand and practice before moving on,” says fitness expert Meenakshi Mohanty.
3. Unsupervised use:
Improper posture or movement can affect balance, cause imbalance, and serious injury. Stretching and strength training with the ball without professional supervision, especially in the early stages, can lead to serious muscle and other physical injuries.
4. Place the ball without nearby support:
The ball must be placed near a solid vertical surface in case a beginner loses balance. When doing core exercises or strength training, be sure to first learn to properly support the ball to avoid injury.
5. Choose the wrong side for balance:
“Bosu balls can be used on either the flat side upside or the cup-shaped side upside. Needless to say. Each has its own difficulties and purposes. Hence, comprehend carefully which side would be more useful and less injury-prone before proceeding,” suggests Meenakshi Mohanty.
