A Day With BOSU
May 11, 2010
The other day was unlike any other at the BOSU office. Jena & I were given a task of the up most importance. David Weck and Steve Froehlich told us to figure out how to make their newest invention better. The BOSU team created 2 new different ways to exercise using ropes. The problem Jena & I had to solve was to go to all the local sports stores and find appropriate weights to increase the newest inventions. We were told to find the best ankle weights that were between 10 and 5 pounds and were the best fit. Also, we were given a camera to document the journey. After Steve handed me the money to buy the weights we were off to the stores. I thought it was going to be an exciting experience because Jena & I gave a few stores a sneak peak into what they were going to be selling next. First, we go to Sports Chalet in Point Loma because it was the closest. That Sports Chalet did not have the exact weights that we were looking for so we decided to make our way around town. A patter quickly formed as Jena & I made our way through the city. We repeatedly got strange looks as if we were dressed like pirates. However, as soon as we explained to the curious people that we were working for BOSU and that we are testing the new prototype for the latest invention, the curiosity quickly transformed into awe. Soon after we went to Target, Sports Authority, and another Sports Chalet in mission valley. The response from everyone was the same no matter what store we went to that afternoon. I am glad Dave and Steve gave us the opportunity find out which weight would work best on their newest invention because that day I have my part in changing the world one store at a time.
