Balance is important for our agility, it develops our coordination, sharpens our reactions.
It also helps to recover and strengthens ankles and knees.
I use it to develop my coordination while skating, build my core and have fun while in conference calls … it will also help when sliding on a wet leaf, avoiding falls, … your body will remember how to keep its balance.
There are lots of choices when it comes to balance boards
- the Revolution FIT training system, $179,
- the StrongBoard Balance,$269,
- the Groove Indo Board, $275,
- the classic Indo Board, $190,
… plenty of choices
Or, you do like me, and make your very own balance board for $1,99!
let’s go get a 2-liters
empty it and fill with water, duck tape it
insist on the cap
almost ready
wheels and trucks out
- Take a board. If you have on skateboard lost in the garage, take off the trucks (leave the risers), and we are already halfway to your very own balance board.
- Buy a 2 liters at Publix ($1,99), empty it and fill it back with water.
- Duck tape the bottle (insist on the cap).
- Put the board on the bottle and hop cautiously on it!
That’s it!
My first bottle lasted about 7 months before leaking … and I practice almost daily.
Now, go get your balance back!
Since I started pump racing, I must admit that balance is sometimes challenging and gravity calls me back to reality.
