balance boards

I posted about these last year and never heard anything since . BUT I used
mine quite a bit for training the ol legs and I must say I think these are
the greatest . My legs are sooooo much stronger than they were before , I
get very little soreness if any , and my balance has improved dramatically .
It's fun to use , I watch TV while I'm on it . I do squats on it , I can
jump and land on it , I swivel with it . What a great work out tool this
thing is . And no I'm not selling them or have any financial interest in
them , I just think it's great for leg training and balance . Something to
think about

Sounds like fun, but how has your skiing improved?

well easy , I can ski better because my legs are stronger , don't have to
stop as much . But the balance factor is the key . I feel much more balanced
on uneven terrain where before I felt a little unstable . Also helped a lot
on the landings on jumps . I try to crouch down on the board like i'm in a
skiing position and make believe I'm skiing .

I figured. It sounds like something I had when I was a kid - it was
called a "Bongo Board."

Bongo boards are still out there. It's just one style of balance board.
They make 'em in all kinds of levels of challenge. I had a bongo
board as a kid too -- huge fun! I just reclaimed that old bongo board
from my folks' home and I'm going to try to restore it -- I think it's a
good workout tool.

Amazingly so! Our Y has one and if I have to burn some time after my regular
routine is done I jump on that thing. When I get better than I will assume
a ski position on it.

There are lots of variations but I bought this one . If you enter balance
board on ebay under sporting goods you'll get a lot of hits . There is a
popular one made of wood called a voo doo board but I thought they were too
expensive .

How much time do you spend on it in one session?

Jeff

Well in 1 session I can go about 15-20 minutes on it but it depends how
aggressive your using it . If I'm just standing on you can go for a while .
If your doing squats , spinning around , crouching , or doing tricks etc
then you will do less . You can use these all year round , and what I like
is that it's easy to do while watching T.V . Just get one ! :-)
