Product Description
Balance Board Training: Improves Balance, Coordination and Posture
Balance Training is the process of coaching our bodies and brains into feeling comfortable and confident in any posture or range of motion. It demands physical and mental attention in order to create awareness of how the body moves in a variety of conditions. Through Balance Training our sense of proprioception can be trained to anticipate different movements so that our bodies can react gracefully, maintain a better relationship with gravity and develop improved posture.
An essential component of injury prevention, Balance Training is a simple activity that will have a profound impact on your overall health and is recommended for all ages and abilities. Ongoing Balance Training will keep our minds and bodies constantly aware of themselves and functioning together, and greater practice will yield greater results. Fitterfirst has a variety of Balance Boards to suit your specific balance training needs and to help you improve your quality of life.
Using a balance board can engage and train stabilizing muscles of your back, abdominal, hips and legs thus helping to reduce back pain, improve posture, leg strength and ankle range of motion. Great to use after a leg, knee, ankle injury and surgery to improve range of movement and confidence to enhance proprioceptive awareness, boost the rehabilitation and reduce the risk of re-injuries.
Stability, Agility and Mobility
No need to worry about stability while standing, doing pushups or doing balance training. It is made from durable 3/4” birch plywood which is safe and has a non-slip top surface for any type of footwear or bare feet. Here are some of the benefits of using our balance board:
- Improved balance, coordination, strength & stability
- Better proprioceptive awareness
- Improve core muscles and posture
- Increase coordination
- Greater ankle range of motion (R.O.M.)
- Improved flexibility & agility
- Enhance cognitive and sensory skills
- Add challenges to your normal workouts

Improves Balance, Coordination, and PostureProviding muscle strengthening movement to increase stability and balance, the wooden balance board is great for rehabilitation, physical therapy, balance training, gym workouts and more. Suitable for any age, the wobble board is also useful for improving coordination and posture. This fitness balancing rocker board provides a stable workout rehabilitation and physical therapy for anyone trying to overcome an injury, be it adult athletes or dancers, kids playing sports, or seniors after surgery. |
The Ideal FootrestWhen used as a footrest, an adjustable height balance board allows dynamic movement of your legs and feet so they won’t get tired from being in the same position for hours. Footrest height should be set to allow your hips and knees to be at 90° angle. When balance boards are combined with an exercise ball chair or sitting disc, you will see improvements in balance, core stability, and leg strength. |

Rotating a full 360 degrees, the balance board allows up to 15 degrees and 20 degrees of tilt. Easily tilt forward and backward, and side to side for effective balance training and rehabilitation of the calf, ankle, and foot. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Gave it 4 stars because the traction on the board could be improved. Almost have to wear workout shoes, especially when I go to max width on my stance. I like to workout barefoot and the traction on the board could stand to be a little rougher or stickier.
Considering getting, or making, balance boards that rock sideways only, or, forward only to increase the stretch in my legs. Have lost 14 pounds in 6 weeks since using this in my workout. I also gave up ice cream and yogurt, which I am sure also helped.
The motion is wonderful. The quality is excellent too.
UPDATE (12/26/2012): I am still using this product and I can see that I am having steady improvement. I have it in the basement in my small home gym. Every morning that I spend some time down there, I have several episodes with the board, each one about 1 to 3 minutes long. My balance was seriously bad, but I am seeing it come back, although there is a long way to go :-)
As I age, I am seeing that my balance is not what it used to be. This board was recommended in Men's Health magazine a few months back, and it seemed like a really good idea, so I recently bought it. I have it in my workout area in the basement, and I make a point of using it at least daily, and also I use it every time I go into the basement. I have had it for about 3-4 weeks and I am starting to see a little improvement in my balance. When I first got it, I could not balance it at all. Now my balance is slightly improved, and hopefully my progress will continue. If I have problems with it later on, I will update this review, but I do not expect it.
Packaging highest quality and product arrived amazon prime in 2 days.
Product looks to be build for 10 years or longer use.
Adjustment ball has 3 levels that lock into place and tighten down with a large metal bolt with a brass threaded insert in the plastic ball
OVERALL
Great product for first time users or mid level users of wobble boards
Would recommend to family or friends at the sub $100 price point if you need such product
PRO
High quality
High strength
Good looking
Easy to adjust ball level
Ball level adjustment very secure
CON
NONE (update after a few weeks use) ... If you use this product bare foot and your feet are dry the top surface is too slick to keep your feet from sliding. I believe the top surface roughed areas have been sprayed over with some clear coating that reduces the hold of bare dry feet. Use of the product with shoes or feet warm and not dry does not have slippage issues at least for me. .....
