6 Ways I Stay Balanced And BOSU Moves To Help Improve Balance

Disclaimer: this post was sponsored by BOSU but all opinions expressed are my own. I truly appreciate all of the brands that support the Fit Approach (Sweat Pink) community. 

If you forgot to join me last week for the #BOSUStrong challenge or just weren’t up for the cardio, make sure you join me this week as it’s all about the balance! We’re standing on one leg, lunging, and BOSU squatting our way through the week.

But balance means more than just being able to stand on one leg, it also means being able to do what you love while making healthy choices at the same time. It means putting in the work and still finding time for the hubby and kiddos. Or eating the cookie but balancing it out with a salad. Or T25 (workout) and a Bosu Total Body (workout) at home when you can’t make it to the gym.

Here are the 6 ways I stay balanced - what are yours?

●       I make time for myself by scheduling it in whether it be a run or shopping trip.

●       My favorite me time is running on the trails.

●       My rule when it comes to a balanced diet is portion control.

●       I make fitness a priority by doing something active each day.

●       When I get stressed or overwhelmed, my go to is Hubby.

●       I do the best I can to help my family stay balanced.

Here are my 6 fave BOSU moves to help improve your balance (click on link for instruction):

Leap and Stick
