Editorial Review: Never be caught flat - footed again! The Bongo Board is the easy way to build lightning - quick balance and reflexes! Be quick on your feet! You'll be greased lightning after a couple weeks using the Bongo Board. Improve your basketball, football and even golf game by developing your sense of balance and reaction time. The Bongo Board is like a skateboard, only with one single independent roller attached with an elastic cord. The roller is in constant motion independent of the board, creating a constantly changing center of balance. Fun, exciting and a snap to learn! Start off slow on some carpet with a railing nearby for balance. You'll graduate to hard floors, and even be able to navigate open spaces without difficulty. Soon keeping your balance, even under the most chaotic activity, will be nearly instinctive. 8" wide platform. Maximum weight capacity is 250 lbs. Gain the confidence you need to excel!

Well built, sturdy and FUN 5 out of 5
A great design that is well built with quality materials.
The whole family enjoys the Bongo Board and working on their balance skills.
Perfect for all ages and great for rehab after lower body surgery.
My son has even gotten better on his skate board from daily use of the Bongo Board.
Bong Board a Big Hit! 5 out of 5
We ordered the Fitter First Bongo Board in March. After over two months of regular use, the whole family agrees it is a big hit. While I use it for improving lower body and core strength, my kids use it as a fun way to improve balance. Whenever the kids' friends or cousins come over, they, inevitably find their way over to it and are hooked quickly. Our six and eight year olds picked it up within 30 minutes; the teenagers can't wait to figure out more tricks; and even Mom and Dad found their balance within a short time.
For workout purposes, I use it three-four times a week for about 10-15 minutes. I incorporate it into my circuit routine to give my lower muscles a bigger challenge. For varying exercises, I checked out web-videos for demonstrations. Some of my favorite moves include: deep squats, tossing a ball against the wall (or to a partner) while balancing, and twisting for a full rotation.
We highly recommend the Fitter First Bongo Board for its excellent quality, for providing a great workout supplement and for general fun.
great but WATCH OUT 5 out of 5
My kids love this thing. It is an excellent way to refine agility and balance but MAKE SURE they use it in a large open room away from furniture!

Synopsis
-------
I bought this board in June 09. I was so busy in Summer that I didn't touch it until January '10. I hit the wall with my run and Nordic Track Ski Machine no longer 'shock' my body. Having stuck in the house during winter months doesn't do good to the body either. Hence, I was gaining a bit of weight. I put this board behind my couch facing the TV and ever since then - I was hooked. It took me about 4-5 days to start getting a hang of it(I never skate board or roller blade before). I held on to the back of the couch during those 4-5 days to prevent any falls from happening.
Effect
----
After 2 weeks, I am close to going back to my weight in Summer. My waist is trimmed again; I wake up to sore gluts and core muscles - the best feeling ever! I am now a believer in this equipment and will use it a lot more throughout the year.
Activities
-------
I golf and hike in the Sierras a lot; both activities require a lot of core strength(especially when you start getting tired during the round or long hike). I started doing some core exercises about a year ago and noticed some improvements in both activities; more controlled golf swing and better posture during long hikes. I believe that this machine will strengthen my core more as I keep using it...
Customer Service
-------------
I lost the original manual and contacted the company in Canada. The customer service got back to me within a day; they mailed me the manual. That shows how great a company this is that I start looking into other products that they sell on their website. Bravo!
