The 6 lbs. of sand BOSU added helps keep the ball in place during workouts, and turns the Ballast into a combination medicine ball and stability ball. This makes working out more efficient. You spend more time working out and less time switching stability balls or chasing them. The decreased chance of it rolling away also helps with safety issues while working out. Read on to learn how to buy the right one for your workout needs.
