StrongTek Oval Wood Balance Board and Wobble Boards Rocker, Balance Disc, Core Strength Exercise Fitness Accessory, Workout Stability Equipment, Yoga Stretching, Standing Desk Use

I got this board to get the most out of my resistance band training and I’m not disappointed. I’m not yet able to perform my workouts while on the board but after 3 days I can feel my balance increasing my core muscle fatigue decreasing. It’s very challenging for me and I love that. The only thing I didn’t particularly like was the sandpaper grip. I like to workout barefoot and I didn’t feel comfortable using my bands on an abrasive surface, so I took an upholstery carpet and glued it on top of my board. I still have enough traction to not slip off my board and it’s a lot easier on my feet. I strongly prefer this board over other boards because of the width. I’m a able to do more exercises than a standard 15.5 in board. Also, this board is very sturdy. I weigh 280 lbs and this board hasn’t groaned once. I love this board and it will continue to be a tool in my fitness arsenal.

I received this board UPS today and immediately removed it from its packaging. I proceeded to find a spot where I could balance safely. I placed it so that I could touch a wall on either side of me if I needed to help me balance. I am able to balance for several minutes at physical therapy on a very challenging board so didn't think this one would be difficult. This one is SO dangerous!!! The round balancing ball in the middle of the board causes you to go sideways, forward and backwards all at once -- I thought that I could stabilize myself sideways but when I put my right foot on the board and lifted my left foot to place it correctly I literally flew backwards landing on my side. Luckily I didn't hit my head on the floor, but boy did the rest of me collide with it. Unless you are extremely able to immediately balance yourself forwards, backwards and sideways I would not recommend this board. I am a former dance and gymnastics teacher -- this one is for advanced only.

About a year ago I began using a standup desk in an effort to become more fit and healthy. As a 60-year-old man I noticed my balance was declining and that there was a decrease in strength in my ankles. In an effort to combat this I opted to try this product. After 1 week I noticed a considerable improvement in balance and started to detect an increase in strength in the ankles. I am very optimistic and pleased and feel after continued use there will be further improvement as well as with the core muscles. Being able to achieve some degree of fitness while standing and doing work is a major plus to me.

I use a “wobble board” in Physical Therapy to work on balance, strength in my knees, etc... The plastic underneath the one at my Physical Therapy office is beveled square shaped. It has control while tipping back & forth or side to side. Because the plastic under this one is oval & beveled all around, there is ZERO CONTROL when tipping!!! I found myself falling all over the place if I didn’t hold onto chairs on either side! And I was INJURED from a FALL! I don’t need to be injured again! Had I known this was such a subpar product, I never would have purchased it! I’m trying to get better, not worse! >:(

Besides helping with overall carriage and self balance as well as strengthening of the deeper muscles closer to the skeleton, being a competing dressage rider I especially looked for a gear helping with overall body strength and balance regarding the riders seat.This board helps significantly with a strong and balanced seat when using it frequently and for a long enough time.I bought it for by the way use when working since we can adjust our tables to being at a standing height. While standing on the board when working, my body stays active and besides assisting my overall health due to not sitting 8+ hours a day but btw exercising lightly, it keeps up circulation as well as tiny muscle contractions.Thanks to exactly those tiny contractions of the deeper muscles to stabilize yourself constantly, a riders seat gets noticeably stronger and stable, resulting in a quite quick improvement of accuracy and might of the overall seat since the body seems gain flexibility as well as „inter and intra independence“ of legs and arms.Thus, to finally conclude: not only a great tool for people working in an office (best with the possibility of standing), but also and especially for riders of all kinds!

I really like the oval shape. It gives more room for the side to side placement of feet. I have been using it for about 5 minutes daily since receiving it and feel it has really helped my balance! Also it I can use it to provide a great stretch to my muscles by lowering an end to the ground and holding or lowering the edges to the ground following the oval shape.I also have used it with a straight arm plank for some variety.I am very pleased with the quality of this balance device!!Thanks!

I’m 5’2 and 306 lbs and this works perfectly for me. I’m starting to strengthen my core to help with sciatica so that I can start walking long distances again. This board is definitely helping !!! I’ll update again in the future.

I love this little number. It took some time for my body to figure it out, but that’s the point. Well made and very sturdy. Unlike me. I’m 88 years old and dumber than a hat, but this little device seems to help.
