The featured exercise is an advanced version of squatting. I have destabilized the basic floor squat by incorporating 30 pound lifting chains and BOSU balance trainers into the exercise. Essentially a higher degree of balance, stabilization and coordination of the neuromuscular system is required, than would have been needed performing the squat traditionally.
Only experienced weight trainers who have previously mastered the individual use of each piece of equipment used in this video should cautiously attempt this exercise with light weight and a spotter on standby. Note that each BOSU balance trainer has a maximum capacity of 300 pounds, and they should be evenly inflated to a height of about 9 inches (do not exceed 10 inches).
This is a high risk exercise! You need to be sure footed. There is a lot of room for error when stepping on and off each BOSU balance trainer with a load. Suggestion: Bare feet will grip the rounded contour of the balance trainers and allow you to sense and adjust to the fluctuations in your balance better, than when you are wearing workout shoes.

Apart from the show-off factor, that was really quite impressive. More impressive was the timing of the music.
