Gymboss 24 Minute BOSU Workout  

BOSU functional balance trainers have been around for about 20 years. This longevity means that these products really work! BOSU stands for Both Sides Up, or Both Sides Utilized, which describes how you can use this workout tool – flat side up or curved side up.

A lot of people only use BOSUs for crunches, but, with a little imagination, you can use one to work pretty much every muscle in your body.

Combine your BOSU with a Gymboss timer for a time-efficient workout that will improve your balance, strengthen your core, as well as burn fat, and tone your entire body.

Gymboss Spartan Running Circuit

Running is one of the best ways to get fit and lose weight. Why? Simply put, it’s just super-accessible. You can run almost anywhere and anytime, and all you really need is a pair of suitable running shoes. You can even run barefoot if you really want to.

But, if running has a disadvantage, it is that it only really works your lower body. Running scores ten out of ten for cardiovascular conditioning, but it’s a swing and a miss for your upper body conditioning. And even though running works your legs, it’s not all that good for strengthening and toning.

With all that in mind, the Gymboss Spartan Running Circuit was designed to build total-body fitness in as little as 30 minutes.

Use this workout anytime that you need a full-body workout but also want to run.

A Modifiable and Do Anywhere Tabata Circuit

Tabata training is one of the most intense, time-efficient ways you can work out. Invented by Japanese sports scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata, this method involves doing eight sets of 20 seconds maximum intensity exercise, broken up with brief ten-second rests.

Done properly, Tabatas are brutal. What does that mean? According to Tabata, you should treat every interval like a race, giving each one your best effort. If you feel like you could have done more or gone faster, you weren’t working hard enough!

But that doesn’t mean there is only one way to do Tabatas, and for this workout, while we’re going to stay true to the 20 seconds on/10 seconds off structure, we’re going to use more than one exercise to create a Tabata circuit.
