BOSU basics for ski conditioning

The first item I bought to use at home for knee rehab in 2012 was a BOSU®.  The BOSU is a half-dome balance trainer that can be found in many fitness centers.  I was using one for physical therapy pretty early in the process.  The key use then was to improve 1-leg balance for the injured leg.  Later on, I learned that there are lots of exercises using a BOSU that are good for skiing.

The following exercises were put together for a National Ski Patrol meeting several years ago.  As she mentions, a few of them are easy to do when watching TV.  Improving balance doesn't really take that much effort if you spend 5-10 min a day doing something.
