Wobble Boards for
Runners & Joggers: Balance board training can dramatically improve
the strength and coordination of all the key muscles involved in running, dramatically enhancing strength, R.O.M., stability and power
in the push-off cycle. "This should help you avoid injuries - and make you a considerably more powerful
runner, "
states Running Research News, Vol.14, Vol. 10, Dec. 1998.
Wobble Boards at the Office: Use a wobble board as a foot rest under your desk and to stand on when you’re
on the phone. It takes no extra time from your day and you will quickly enjoy
the benefits of stronger ankles and better balance. It’s like improving
your golf swing or strengthening your skiing while you work at your desk.
Wobble Boards for Seniors:
Regular use of balance
boards is a great way to maintain better balance and confidence.“As more and more
research is showing, movement is essential to retaining your health and vigor
as you age. It is becoming increasingly apparent that doing exercises to build
strength and enhance balance is an important complement to maintaining cardiovascular
fitness through aerobic movement. So be sure to build balance training into
your workouts. If you do, you’re likely to find the world a much steadier
place.”
