ProsourceFit Wooden Balance Board Non-Slip Wobble Core Trainer 15.75in (39.5cm) Diameter with 360 Rotation for Stability Training, Full Body Exercises, Physical Therapy

After having ankle surgery with part of my ankle bone removed the physical therapist had me spend a minute or two on a plastic balance disk to build up strength in my ankle. I searched Amazon for one I could use at home. This one fit my needs perfectly. It's a bit lower to the ground than some other balance disks but it works well, is very sturdy, & met my needs as well as being an excellent way to gain balance skills. The most important thing to know is how to get on any type of balancing board or disk & you do that by locating it in a place where there is something you can hang onto to like a counter or fireplace if you need to. Tilt one side of the disk down to the floor while holding onto something so you don't fall and place one foot on the down side. Then place your other foot on the other side of the disk. This disk was thicker and sturdier than the plastic disks and a good value for the money. The base is slightly lower and is made of plastic so placing it on a hardwood floor makes it extremely slippery. I found buying an inexpensive small flat throw rug that doesn't slip on the floor and lays almost as flat as the floor provides a little more stability when first starting to use the disk. When that becomes easy then remove the small rug and work up your skills using it on a hardwood floor or cement floor where it is much more slippery and harder to keep your balance.

I purchased this board to use at work. The entire office is carpeted so I can use it anywhere. I keep it under the desk I am using for the day and store it in my locket later on when I leave.This board helps even when I am just sitting at a desk. I use it while sitting in my chair which helps with proper body alignment. My knees were starting to hurt (I have osteoarthritis - by all means please consult with your doctor before using it). I always feel much better after using it and don’t know why I neglect to use it daily. So I figured, this is an inexpensive item and having one at work and home is reasonable.I have two coworkers who are purchasing one, since they saw mine. I let them try it out and they immediately were hooked. One is going to bring her yoga mat to work and use the balance board. We will be using it on our breaks in a discreet location. We are the minority who do not take frequent smoking breaks, therefore no one should complain.This board is slightly larger than the one I have at home. If you have long feet it will make a difference. The board is thick and sturdy. I don’t see a problem with long term use. I am wondering if this will help with roller skating. I have been interested in doing that but worry about my knees. Time will tell.

I like the grip tape. Good for ankles.

Bought this to work on balance but found it too difficult so I returned it for a balance board that goes side to side instead of all directions. With that being said the quality of the product was great and pricing was reasonable.

This allowed me to continue my PT exercises at home, improving my outcome.

Let's face it, balance, or the lack thereof, and falls are deadly for anyone; especially us older folks! This certainly helps you to become more balanced while strengthening one's core! I wouldn't get too hung up on doing the exercises as depicted in the book that accompanies the item; do what you can and know that just standing balanced on it is a big plus! LOVE IT; HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

The base wasn't sturdy enough to feel safe. The size was ... ok. Definitely not for larger feet. The grip seemed sufficient .

I like it a lot! After reading the reviews, I put a square of no-slip shelf-liner under it & only use it on carpet, no problems with it slipping out from under me. Really sturdy construction & I like the no-slip stuff on the top so you feet are solid on it (I wear just socks when I use it).

小学生の子供のために購入しました。体幹を鍛えることを目的にプレゼントしたところ、すぐ興味を示して、自分でぐらぐらするボードに乗って、バランスをとり、夢中になっていました。買って正解でした。私もテレワークが多く、家で手軽にトレーニングができ、親子で使えて嬉しいです。コンパクトで家で邪魔にならない点も良い。
