Two Buff Chicks: The Bosu Ball Has Landed

Three springs ago Nancy and Becky traveled to Cocoa Beach, Florida, where they spent the week enjoying the surf, sand and key lime pie. For Becky, the highlights of the week were her early morning runs and watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" during Happy Hour. The high point of Nancy's vacation is a bit more baffling to this baffled observer. It goes without saying that Nancy thought the beach was nice and the breakfasts at Simply Delicious were obviously simply delicious, and the seafood was quite satisfying. Oh, yes, her traveling companion was beyond compare. But for Nancy the most thrilling moment of all came when the two vacationers heard a deafening BOOM one evening. At first the two thought perhaps the upstairs neighbor had fallen down the stairs, but then the TV announced the re-entry of some space shuttle or whatever up the beach a ways. It's at that moment Nancy insisted they drop everything and run outside to see if anything could be seen. Nothing but dark. Do you not agree that this is a most baffling high point of a vacation?

Perhaps if when Nancy and Becky had ventured out of their condo they had encountered the Bosu ball, the impress-o-meter might've registered.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Bosu ball has landed. There was no loud boom, just a gasp of surprise and delight when Becky discovered it on the gym floor. Now that is something to get excited about!

Almost as quickly as Nancy raced out the door that fateful Florida evening, Becky went to work practicing her Bosu ball push-ups. The fun had begun, and everyone knows that fun is meant to be shared. Becky then introduced Nancy to the Bosu ball in their next workout. Nancy thanked Becky profusely (at least that's what Becky assumed Nancy was muttering). Now a quick lesson on Bosu ball push-ups.

Step 1: Put down your hanky.
