Wooden Wobble Balance Board with Free Online Instructional Videos for Home Gym Kit

I broke both of my ankles the first week of July. Surgery, lots of metal screws plates and pain! I was able to start PT 3 weeks ago. They used a very expensive wobble board to get my ankles moving again. I decided twice a week was not enough movement to get me back on my feet walking normally again. So I searched online and decided on this Rocco balance board. Mind you, I do not use it for a balance board but for moving my feet. I have positioned it under my desk therefore enabling me to move my feet all day long. The back and forth and side to side movements are exactly the same movements the physical therapist had me doing 30 times each direction, each foot. With this affordable board I get this same movement all day long. It has drastically improved the movement in my ankles. Thank you Rocco for making this affordable and so helpful.

Top is nice sturdy wood, but under it - the part that wobbles - is plastic. I have a balance problem so I use the board near a wall until I get better at it. I also wear sneakers. The first couple of times I did just 1 1/2 - 2 minutes at a time and will caution people that when you get off it, your brain may still be "wobbling" causing dizziness/loss of balance. I went to the web site to check out the videos and they are NOT numbered as to order, had trouble finding the beginning one and later when I went back to it, it wasn't there. I wish they were numbered as to difficulty. There is a "chat with us" link - but no one at the other end. I sent an email, don't know if I will get an answer. I wish they had a square board like the PT's use, it only goes foward and backward - a bit easier. Overall am happy with the board.

Took it out of the box and noticed that the "grip tape" which is just a cheap sticker was crumpled and not adhered to the wood. So it looks like I have to do some arts and crafts work before I can even test it out. Hopefully with my faithful glue stick I'll be able to get most of the grip smoothed out and permanently bonded to the wood.

Everyonce in a while you just want to crank your music and dance along, even while writing your next app. I do really enjoy putting the standing desk up and pulling out my balance board.I find that I can't stay on it for a terribly long time, maybe half an hour or so at a time. It starts to hurt my feet. I'm not sure if that is a statement about my shoes or the balance board.I have gotten much better at balancing on it and I would love to see what I can do on the Wii Fit these days :)All in all the board is very well balanced, is more of a challenge than the wider skateboard looking ones and provides a fun break to regular standing and sitting at my work desk.

I use my balance board at my standing desk every day when I’m at work. In a given 8 hour day, I’d say I’m actively on the balance board 2 - 2.5 hours per day. I absolutely love this balance board; it’s super sturdy, the grip tape on top is very durable and it’s just an overall well made product.There is no shortage of options for balance boards on amazon; the reason I chose this one is because of the colored grip tape and, as I mentioned, it did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a balance board that isn’t your run-of-the-mill with black grip tape, I’d highly, highly recommend this one.

A really fun and active item for all ages. It feels a bit weird at first but you can see improvement really fast and start to feel very comfortable on the board super fast. Not only me and my family are gaining better balancing skills but we are also having so blast with this board! Great choice!

I am 67 years old and I bought this to improve my balance. I find this board challenging and a good workout for my ankles. I have to develop more strength in my ankles and lower body to feel confident with this item. I need to hold on to chairs and tables to do this.

I love this balance board. I have been using a bosu ball for years to improve my balance, but this board is much less bulky and feels more stable. I love to keep it under my standing desk and use it while working on my computer to strengthen my core while I work. A huge issue people have as they age is falling, so I always tell my yoga clients to focus on balance training, and this is the perfect tool to improve your core strength and overall balance.
