Fitter1 Wobble Board : Find Your Balance

If you're looking for a new fitness challenge, it's time to check out a Fitter1 wobble board.

It looks pretty simple, just a wooden board balanced on a small half sphere. All you have to do is stand on it, and try not to fall off. The bonus is: while you struggle to maintain your balance, you're actually improving your leg strength, increasing ankle strength and range of motion, and building stability in your torso, abs, and pelvic girdle.

I'm all in favor of fitness gear that helps me train my body without it feeling like I'm "working" at it. Fitter1's boards come in a variety of sizes, each providing a different challenge level. I've found the wobble board to be a valuable fitness tool. It has certainly helped me be more aware of my balance and improve my coordination. Now that I've improved my body awareness and strengthened lower body and core muscles, I feel more stable and powerful in other exercises.

I haven't quite addressed my upper body issues...but when I'm ready to do that, I'll be using the wobble board to turn up the heat during push-ups.

Bottom LIne: This versatile, totally durable board can help you make subtle but significant changes in your body. It's a must-have training tool for runners, skaters, tennis players, and other athletes.--E.D. (July '05)
