I was kinda sorta thinking about getting a bocu for home, since coordination is not and never has been my strong suit. I figure balancing could help that out a bit. But this might be cool too, since my feet tend towards injury.

I assume you are talking about the foam roller being used in a similar way to the bosu. I did just a Pilates class and since the studio's air conditioning was broken, we were in the main gym today and did all our work on mats using foam rollers and stability balls. The variations on plank/push-ups are killer on the foam roller. We also use them to warm up, just by rolling along hamstrings, quads, IT bands. According to my trainer, the roller breaks up muscle adhesions when used this way.
