BOSU® Balance Pods XL,Blue

I've used a regular BOSU for over 17 years with no maintenance, no inflation needed. I decided to get the pods to fit in quick workouts in the office throughout the day without getting sweaty, changing clothes, changing shoes, or getting noticed. Arrived in great condition, but slightly deflated so I had to inflate them a bit.

I bought the bosu pods and then bought a pair of the bosu xl pods. I like the regular size better. They are higher yet work better then the xl pods. I thought the xl would work better for feet but i like the size and height of the smaller pods. Mavbe if i was a man with larger feet i would want them but the angle and being flatter is less challenging

I have the small and now the XL balance pods and love them both. My workouts are pwerful with them. Favorite is using weights while balancing on them to include my core. Great workout. I travel with the small pods and a yoga mat when I know a gym isn't going to be available. At home I take them with me and my trainer always gets them out of my "bag". Note: My xl arrived flat from being stored at Amazon. May need to add air upon arrival and these use a pump like a volleyball, etc. does.

They smelled really bad. Like a chemical rubber. I’ve tried to air them outside for 2 months & unfortunately missed the return window. I’ll throw them away as a lesson /$$$ learned. If it smells bad in the box, return it right away. It won’t get better with time, no matter how much you air it out or wipe it down. It Just Smells!-Smell from the beginning! Smell till the End!

I use it for working on technique in sports training and they work very well!!

I got them on time and they are a better size for me then the smaller pods . Very Stable when inflated properly, which takes a gentle touch. Easy to over inflate. If this happens then unhook the pin from the pump and use the tip to deflate until flat. Good for pushups as well. I recommend them.

Wonderful for improving balance and strengthening your core. Highly recommend.

This version of the ball had an unpleasant smell and sticky feel to it. The feel was like someone sprayed painted it. The box also came in wet and also was reused as this came from Amazon resell. I'm surprised they tried to reuse a box that didn't seem worth reusing even before it was wet.
