<christel> the bosu (BOth Sides Up) can be used for a variety of execerises (stable or unstable depending on which way up you've got it) it#s also great for just adding some challenge to your normal excersizes -- but yeah, it's a balance training tool :)
<dwatkins> nifty, looks like something I've used before in pyhsio for my back, will look into getting one
<christel> yeah quite possibly, it's used a lot for rehab stuff by physiotherapists :)
<christel> i do unstable squats on a bosu (so ball side down, flat bottom up) :)
<dwatkins> yeah, my physiotherapist also suggested getting on of those big rolls
<dwatkins> seeing the price of these, I think I'll wait a bit ;)
<Myrtti> bosu? I need one
<Myrtti> I was told by my physio years ago I need to a) get a better balance b) strengthen my ankles
<christel> ah, a big foam roller? they are great!
<christel> i use a rumbleroller (a bumpy one) now and again
<dwatkins> I started doing Capaoera recently, but can't go at the moment having broken a toe (!)
<dwatkins> that and swimming and cycling to work should sort me out in time :)
<christel> what problems do you have with your back if you don't mind me asking?
<dwatkins> mainly just stiffness, probably due to sitting and not getting a lot of e?cercise for the past 25 years ;)
<dwatkins> occasional twinges, I gather it's quite common in people who work at a desk for a living and don't get a huge amount of excercise
<christel> i used to have serious issues with my lower spine and found that weight training helped a tremendous amount as it built up sufficient muscle to keep stuff "in place" for longer :)
<Myrtti> I feel so blessed for not having my back problems anymore
<dwatkins> yeah, I gather strengthening the core muscles will help a lot
<oimon> i slouch a lot, but seem to get away with it
