First Time at the BOSU Office

The first time I went to go work at the BOSU office, it was a Friday afternoon around 1:00 PM. Walking up to the all-glass building, I thought to myself, “This place looks classy…”. When I arrived to the actual office, another intern, Mike, was already there working on our first assignment and Steve was there working as well. The guys filled me in on what our first assignment was and I got to work helping Mike to complete it.  As I was working on the assignment, I was looking around and couldn’t help but notice all of the BOSU equipment displayed throughout the room. There were a bunch of ropes of all different sizes that are used for Rolling Ropes, some new and some used, that were set out on a couple of tables. There were also a few of the widely-known BOSU balls lying around along with some other stability balls. Another ball I noticed that I had never seen before, was one called the BOSU Pro Ballast Ball (try saying that five times fast). It was similar-looking to a stability ball, but was unique in that it had what appeared to be sand in the inside and the ball itself looked much more sturdy than a normal stability ball. We asked Steve about it and he gave us a quick demo on the benefits of using the BOSU Pro Ballast Ball over a regular stability ball.  One thing he pointed out was that it is much safer and can be used when performing dynamic exercises without having to worry about it rolling away because the sand inside keeps it steady. It was very cool being in the BOSU office for the first time and seeing all the different equipment and getting to learn how some of it is utilized.
