What is a balance board

You can master the balance board in a few minutes. But it takes time to learn to control your body. The set consists of a board and a roller. Standard board sizes depend on trainee's height, age, foot size. Weight affects the thickness of the base. Standard, 18mm-thick one, can withstand static loads up to 200 kg and jumps up to 100 kg. The roller is made of polyethylene water pipe. Usually, the diameter is 110 to 160 mm. The small roller is suitable for children and beginners who are afraid of heights. Diameter 160 is suitable for advanced boarders and athletes.

If you are a beginner, it is best for you to get up on a balance board with a support (such as a wall). For better grip, use shoes with flat soles. A yoga mat or other rubberized product will prevent slipping on the floor, preventing it from falling. There are professional woven carpets that are resistant to damage. They have a soft base that will come in handy when performing tricks.

What is the use of balance board

The balance machine has a number of useful properties for the body and brain. But the benefits of training are quite extensive:

Sport. Professional athletes (for example, from the city of Kyiv) need to constantly train on the balance board to achieve good results. And their success definitely depends on the ability to balance. Frequent short sessions have been shown to benefit more than long ones a couple of times a week. The whole set is compact in size, so it's easy to take with you on a trip to improve your skills every day.

If you want to keep yourself in great shape, but for various reasons can not go to the gym, spending there 20 minutes a day. Balance board trains even those muscles that are not available during running and other regular sports. Good cardio and strength training will make the blood circulate, burning all fat.

Injury prevention. Exercises on the board involve all muscle groups and support the joints. It is useful for the elderly to buy a balance board to avoid injuries during falls.

Quality is the main criterion for choosing a balance board

Whatever rules for choosing a balance board we apply, if you buy a low-quality product from a know-name manufacturer, you should not expect a special effect from classes. The service life of the board, safety, functionality and your aesthetic pleasure depend on the quality of the materials, the coating of the deck and the roller. Branded boards have certificates of conformity. And the convenience of training on them gives much higher and faster results. Balance boards, which you can buy from us, are characterized by a similar quality.

Material of manufacture of balance board Customers often ask what is the best balance board to buy, from what plywood. We answer... The most reliable balancing boards are made of high-quality wood veneer, which does not contain chips, knots, or other damage. Moisture-resistant plywood from birch or coniferous wood, Canadian maple, from 15 to 20 mm thick is taken as the basis. 20mm support 120kg rider weight. It is these materials that will last a long time and will not break under your feet. What can not be said about cheap Chinese counterparts, which are better not to buy. Roller/roller An equally significant nuance of choice is the material from which the roller is made. The supported weight of the structure depends on it, and on the coating - whether the device will slide on the floor and how much.

When explaining how to choose the balance of the board to our customers, we always pay attention to the roll. Rollers for balance boards are made:

From conventional pipes (mostly 16 cm in diameter). These are inexpensive options suitable for amateurs and novice athletes. Their surface, as a rule, slides a little.

From pipes covered with rubber. This is the middle price segment, which suits serious people and extreme riders. Rollers in rubber do not slip and look more presentable than simple pipes.

Molded PVC or polyurethane. This is already a more expensive segment of professional models. They have excellent adhesion to the deck and floor (they do not slip on any floor even without a rug), a high load-bearing rate, resistance to abrasion, tearing. Universal option, suitable for different levels of training. (Such as presented on the EXBOARD website)

What size balance board to choose?

The concept of board balance size includes the width and length of the deck, as well as the diameter of the roller. The selection of these parameters depends on the height of the person. Short people need to choose narrower and shorter boards, while tall people, on the contrary, need slightly wider and longer options. In general, decks are pided into universal, elongated and wide. Universal boards have a length of 75 cm, a width of 35-40 cm (the optimal parameter) and a roller of 15-16 cm in diameter. On such models it will be comfortable to train almost everyone, including beginners. The 20 cm roller is more suitable for professionals or people who want to move to a more difficult level of training. Children 5-12 years old should buy boards with a roller, 11-14 cm in diameter. The same indicator is suitable for those who are very afraid of heights.

In conclusion, we highlight the main aspects when choosing a balance board.

How to choose the right balance board?

-It will be difficult for tall people to practice on short and narrow boards, and for short people, on the contrary, on long and wide ones. Almost everyone is suitable for universal models.

How to get on the balance board?

A newbie needs someone to support them. Or lean on special holders or a wall. Having taken a position on the board, you need to stand like this for 15 minutes so that the body gets used to it.
