The Benefits of BOSU Exercise
-
Enhanced Core Strength:The unstable nature of the BOSU ball forces your core muscles to work harder to stabilize your body during exercises, leading to significant core development.
-
Improved Balance and Stability:By performing exercises on the BOSU ball, you train your body to maintain balance in challenging situations, improving your overall stability and coordination.
-
Functional Fitness:BOSU training mimics real-life movements, enhancing your ability to perform everyday activities with better stability and control.
The Benefits of Group Exercise
- Motivation and Accountability: One of the best things about exercising in a group is that individuals of different ages and abilities can support each other. You will undoubtedly be motivated to push yourself harder knowing others are there. Group exercise is the perfect middle ground between working out alone and hiring a trainer. The instructors in group classes demonstrate each move and ensure that everyone is following along correctly.
- Structure: There are so many elements to think about if you want your workout to be well rounded and safe. The instructor plans a balanced workout using different muscle groups and ensures that they are not overworked. And, your brain doesn’t get overworked because all you have to do is follow along while the instructor does all the thinking.
- Socializing: Group fitness classes are the ideal place to meet new, like-minded people. The group begins to act as a support to help each other stick with goals and make new ones. These positive influences are critical to long term success.
In addition to the benefits of exercise, there are benefits to participating in a group class.

Fitness Is a Core Jewish Value
At the JCC, fitness isn’t just something we do; it’s who we are. Although exercise is not mentioned in the Torah, taking care of one’s health is. In fact, while other belief systems advocate for the healing power of prayer, Judaism encourages people to look after their health and seek counsel from medical experts. In Judaism, good health is not a goal in itself; rather, it is a means to an end – to serve the Creator.
