Wobble / Balance board

9 replies

Anyone used a wobble / balance board? Unsure if these are different or the same. This is for an adult (me) and I'd like to improve my balance. I'm older and my balance is okay, but would like to do what I can to improve it. Already do yoga and pilate.

Any experience or thoughts?

I just bought a cheap one for exactly this reason. Crikey it's a challenge. Good though.

Yes, bought the proper one for DH who does paddle boarding - he uses it regularly, I have a go now and again. It’s tricky but great. Like anything else, needs consistency so don’t buy one if you think you’ll stash it in a cupboard after a week or two.

I have one but don't know what to do with it. I stand on it sometimes but that doesn't seem enough - how should it be used? It's quite good for boring work training while WFH, gives me something to do (camera off for presentations).

The one we bought came with a sheet of exercises you can do on it. I find most of them too hard except maybe a squat!
There are probably tutorials on YouTube.

This seems good although the music is too loud and shes barely audible. But when she's demonstrating the board it doesn't matter

I use it for about 5 minutes a day. I do a minute with my feet far apart then a minute or so with my feet close together then a minute on each foot. I'm working on closing my eyes but finding that challenging!

I have definitely improved over the last few months.

Can anybody provide a link to the board they have, please?

I use one at my gym. I stand on one leg and roll slowly down to touch my toe and back up again. Several times on each leg. It’s very good for abs control and balance.
