Balance Boards ..

These are brilliant! I was given one for Christmas this year and I have used it every day.
I am totally amazed at how much my balance has improved ... I have gone from not being able to stand on it without wobbling, to stepping on to it and completing a double pirouette ... it can also be used in conjunction with the Swiss Ball ... they are reasonably priced, but like everything else, they do vary depending on the quality ... the one in the pic is identical to mine and can be adjusted to change the degree of difficulty

Its worth investing in DA ... honestly, just since I posted about it I have improved my balance even more. I am especially stoked with it because I lost my sense of balance a little after spinal surgery a year ago and have had 2 falls in that time ... the most recent fall only a few weeks ago. There are quite a few YouTube clips showing various ways to use them ... I'm a total fan (till the novelty wears off )

oh my goodness sound ! I am sorry to hear about your falls ! I do hope your last fall didn't cause too much pain or reinjure your spine. I am glad to hear you found something to help you regain your sense of balance.

Take care,

DA xx

Sound, thank you so much for posting this!
I have been looking for a way to improve my balance that is more interesting than just standing on one leg in commercials.
They've got these at the gym I attend and I never knew what they were.

Thank you so much, I'm going to try them out!
I'm looking forward to it.

Glad they've helped you so much.
:)

I used to be a wobbler and had terrible posture. After using a similar gadget like this, my balance improved tremendously and my back is now straight and natural. I normally use my own, so I don't know how much these actually cost, but they're great. If you have a flat floor or something behind the TV, it's worth standing atop one of these things rather than sitting on a couch :)
