The Hands, The Tools, The BOSU Effect (more)

There is an ancient Chinese saying that “your hands are smarter than your body”. Think about how much more sense, control, and just plain old smarts are in your hands compared to the rest of your body. Fact is your hands recruit a larger percentage of brain cells within the sensory/motor cortexes of both hemispheres of your brain than most other parts of your body.
BOSU - Both Sides Utilized - exercises with a rope and staff enable you to synchronize your hands by providing essential feedback or communication between them.
Your hands move through "Infinity" patterns (two infinities or figure eights - like the BOSU Logo) as you manipulate the rope/staff equally on both sides of your body. This creates flow and promotes balance in your brain and in the rest of your body.
The BOSU Effect is the performance boost you experience when both hemispheres of your brain reach a state of heightened energetic balance. BOSU exercises help create the BOSU Effect, giving you a reliable means by which to prepare your body to perform in a high performance state.
Consistent training in this manner helps potentiate the pathway to a high performance state, making it easier for you to get "into the zone" to get more out of each training session.
Somewhat akin to jump-starting a manual transmission vehicle, you learn to use your body (synchronizing your hands / rotating your body) to create a better state of balance within your brain. This in turn allows you to perform better physically - a positive performance loop, if you will.
Performing basic BOSU exercises well - with speed, precision, and seamless flow - teaches you to Rotate your body symmetrically with precise Timing - all the way from your hands down to your feet.
Rotation is the root of power and Timing is the key to function. Mastering Rotation and Timing teaches you to locate and maintain your body's Center.
The process, seeking to continually improve symmetry between your left and right sides with Both Sides Utilized exercises, fosters a better connection between the upper (conscious) and lower (subconscious) aspects of your brain.
Movement capabilities, body control, and even brain function (see my "must read list" here) all improve with diligent Both Sides Utilized Training.
