Bosu ball training helps balance and coordination. With the dome side up, you can stand, squat, sit or use it just like you would a step for aerobics. Your body is constantly shifting and contracting to stay aligned. This helps burn more calories, and enhances coordination and balance. Turn it over and you can use it as a bench (for strength training), push-ups or just sitting on it to test your balance. (http://www.orbitfitness.com.au/Bosu-Ball-AOK.html)

Reverse Lunge Touch Down
Place the ball dome side up. Stand on top of it with feet hip-distance apart and reach your arms up by your ears, palms in and shoulders relaxed (A). Step your left foot back onto the floor behind you, bending your right knee to 90 degrees to come into a low lunge. At the same time, hinge forward at the hips and touch the dome of ball on either side of your right foot (B). Next, push off with your left foot and return to standing on the ball, arms reaching up. Do 12–15 reps, then switch sides and repeat.

Raise one leg to the rear, return and steady on two legs, then do the same with the other leg. The movement is slow and controlled. This is a balanc exercise in the main. Try to do five with each leg to start. Increase this to 3 sets of 5 with each leg. Rest for a minute off the ball between sets.
