Excellent product for the price point 5 out of 5
I think this is an excellent product for the price point. Although it's not as difficult to balance on this as one of the oblong boards, this does provide an effective way to improve balance.
I like that this isn't so wobbly that it will cause injury. It's easy to get both feet on and get started. Everyone in my household tried this out and nobody had a problem getting started...not even my 2 year old.
There were no instructions included with mine but there were three photos on the box showing a lunge, squat and push-ups using the board. This does give quite a bit of variety to what can be done with the board.
I realize this is a board that is quick to get used to and balance on. Not sure about the longevity of interest I will have in this overall. I am sure adding handweights will make a workout more challenging should I get bored.
I think the board offers enough footbed area for large feet. My hubby wears a size 14 and he tried the board out. I don't remember his toes gripping the edges.
My main concern is that the plastic on this will eventually give out and part of the circle will break off. If this happens, I will update my review.
Overall though, I think this is worth the money. Even to put in front of the TV to do squats on while watching a show. Not Much of A Balance Board 2 out of 5
The bottom that provides the balance is several inches in diameter and is nearly flat. Not much of a balance board. I believe I will return this one.
I recommend the gofit for $10 more. I had one but my son took it to college. Got Balance? 4 out of 5
A product that does what it supposed too! If you got big dogs you won't have much room- Your toes will be gripping the edge like how some women wear their sandals! LOL bored with this 3 out of 5
I got the knack of balancing on this quickly so I need some more serious exercises to get a core workout from this. I was hoping the bottom would be completely unstable so anytime you wanted to stand on it, you'd have to use your core to balance.
I have tried to do pushups on it (as shown on the picture) but it is too narrow for my shoulders - and I am a medium size female, so I doubt it will work at all for male figures.
I guess getting this with a workbook would be OK but I am less than thrilled for this especially given that it is not too cheap.
Every bit as good as the one I'm using at Physical Therapy 5 out of 5
I had 9 surgeries at one time on my foot this July. I'm now in physical therapy and they have me using the wobble board and suggested I get one for home also. This board works just the same as the one there that costs $200. It may be thinner but it supports me and I'm not a small person, size 12 shoes if that tells you anything.
Well worth the money and a great leg strengthening exercise. I feel my posture is getting better too. It is actually fun to see how long you can perfectly balance. Unlike a lot of equipment it does a lot for you without taking up much space. I can just slide it under the sofa and pull it out a few times a day.
Highly recommned this product.
