Balance Board

What is the difference between a balance board and a stepper?

A balance board is an exercise device with a flat platform and one or more rollers underneath. It is used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts and therapists to improve coordination, balance and stability. A stepper, on the other hand, simulates climbing stairs and is mainly aimed at training legs, buttocks and endurance.

How does the wobble board work?

The wobble board, also known as a balance board, works by combining movement and balance. It consists of a flat platform that you stand on and a round disc or ball that moves underneath the platform. When you stand on the balance board, you must constantly adjust your position to maintain balance. This involves engaging various muscle groups in the body, including the legs, core, and trunk muscles. Moving the body on the wobble board challenges the nervous system and trains reaction skills and coordination. By regularly training on the wobble board, you can improve your balance and stability, correct your posture, and strengthen your core muscles.

Balance Board Training Effect: What are the benefits of training with our balance boards?

Exercising with a balance board can work various muscles in the body, including the legs, core and trunk muscles.

• Improve stability: A wobble board is a great tool to improve balance and stability. It requires the body to constantly adjust its position to maintain balance, which can ultimately help improve balance.
• Improve posture: Exercising with a wobble board can help improve posture as it strengthens the core muscles and helps maintain balance. Good posture is important for preventing injuries and improving posture.
• Improve coordination and concentration: Training with a balance board requires a high level of concentration and coordination, as you are constantly trying to maintain your balance and control the movements of the rollers. Through regular training, you can improve these skills and also benefit from them in everyday life, e.g. during sporting activities or simply when walking on uneven surfaces.
• Improving proprioception: Training with a balance board can also improve proprioception, i.e. body awareness and perception. By maintaining balance on the board, you learn how to better coordinate and balance your body, which can also be beneficial in everyday life.

• Increase blood circulation: Exercising with a balance board can also increase blood circulation in the body as it activates muscles and boosts metabolism. Improved blood circulation can help promote muscle recovery and prevent injuries.
• Reduce stress: Exercising with a yoga board can also help reduce stress and increase well-being. By focusing on balance and movements, you can calm and relax the mind.
• Improve athletic performance: Training with a balance board can also improve athletic performance as it improves balance, coordination and stability. These skills are important for many sports, such as skiing, surfing, skateboarding and many more.
• Injury rehabilitation: Exercising with a balance board can also help with injury rehabilitation as it can rebuild muscles and body awareness. It can also help improve mobility and flexibility and reduce pain.
• Core training: Training with a balance board is also a great way to train your core muscles. By trying to keep your balance on the board, you activate the muscles in your abdomen and back, which are important for stable posture and a strong core. A strong core is also important for preventing back pain and injuries.

Aerobic Stepper Training Effect: What are the benefits of training with our steppers?

Training with the stepper brings numerous advantages:

• Improves endurance: Intense training on the stepper increases the heart rate and improves cardiovascular health.
• Promotes fat burning: Intensive cardio training boosts fat burning, which contributes to effective weight loss.
• Strengthens legs and buttocks: The movement of climbing stairs primarily targets the leg and buttock muscles, resulting in stronger and more toned muscles.
• Improves coordination: Performing exercises on the stepper requires good balance and coordination, which improves these skills.
• Versatile training: The stepper allows for a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups and bring variety to your training.

Overall, training with the stepper offers an effective way to improve fitness, lose weight and tone the body.
