Just got my Air Rifts. Not sure about them. Have bunions, and need arch support. How do you feel they do in that regards? Do you wear them for all activities, or restrict? I see they are labeled a running shoe, but I could not do that with them but weight training for sure!

My trainer has me use the Bosu ball in our workouts and I’m a huge fan. I bought one for home use and it’s tough, but effective. My knee issues have really improved since I started using one.

I love em both, and sometimes AT THE SAME TIME. Hah! My favorite new torture/fun thing I do with my trainer is to wrap this giant belt around waist, connected to exercise bands (super thick) which is tied to a wall post, then RUN as hard and fast as possible across the gym until I can’t go anymore, then slooooooooooooooowly back up in a crouch position. Then RUN again! Wow that is one wacky exercise but it is my absolute fave. It kills me.

I am really excited to see all that can be done with the bands. Pretty much the same as with weights.
The Bosu ball is interesting. I am going to have to try that out. I could use some help with my balance!

I have a balance ball and need to use it more often. I do have some of the bands and should do more research on moves to do.

I use pilates and yoga to build better balance. Pilates is like magic for the butt. That’s a b word. lol

I LOVE the BOSU for lunges. Keeps it interesting. I’m busting through a yogic-strength plateau by adding a fun weight lifting class on the weekends. It is so empowering to notice myself getting stronger.

I used to be great at balance. My center of balance has grown a bit, though, and gravity has become more powerful.

I just started using Resistance Bands and am loving them. They’re a perfect fit for my exercise level right now. I haven’t tried a bosu ball yet, maybe after I drop a few.
