Wobble boards. Ever hear of them? I hadn't until I did a Google search for crazy fitness stuff. Come to find out, this isn't so crazy. Fitter First is a great website for all your fitness equipment needs. From exercise balls, to foam rollers and bands to help you stretch, and even chairs to keep you active while you're working at your desk. Wobble boards, weeble boards, and balance boards. I was most intrigued with the wobble board.
This is harder than it looks. With something to be learned in the balance department, I slowly stepped onto my new 16" wobble board one foot at a time. Trying to balance on this is one thing, then to start rocking it forward and back, side to side, is another. Once this is done with ease, try adding a squat. Balancing moves are great for your entire body. Engaging your core. All the smaller muscles in your body work together to keep you stable. The ball underneath is adjustable making balance easier or harder depending on your experience level. You can also place your hands on either side and use for extreme pushups. I must say after being on it for a while the first time, I had a funny feeling when getting off. Much like stepping off a treadmill after a good long walk or run. It was for sure challenging. I have had several friends try it out. Some, it makes for a good laugh, others got the hang of it right away. I recommend trying it for the first time close to a wall or kitchen counter, in case you need to quickly grab a hold of something for stability. I really like placing it under my desk as a foot rest. Keeps me active as well and blood flowing through my legs as I sit.I could go on and on about this product, but thought it be easier to have the founder Louis Stack explain it himself:
So check out the Fitter First site today. There are so many products to choose from, I could not possibly fit it all into this review. As always, comments are always welcome. Let me know what you think or if you have used a wobble board or other Fitter First products.
