The work outs in this book are so fun! If you’ve never used a balancing board and you’re curious, or even if you’ve used them before many times, I recommend this book. This book starts off with an introduction to balance boards and why balance is crucial. It also gives you an overview of how to use the board, some frequently asked questions, and some basic information before getting into the good stuff! There are really great balance tips throughout the book, ones that I’ve used and have found very helpful. There are several programs to follow, including beginning, intermediate, advanced, and more. I’ve been using the intermediate program myself. I love it! It’s a really great program. Best part about this book? There are a TON of photographs! I love that there are so many photographs; it makes it so easy to follow along and understand the instructions. The instructions are also written clearly and with plenty of detail. I highly recommend this book!

Find your Balance
For those of you who don't know, balance boards are pretty cool things. Imagine a platform with a half-ball on one side. Then you stand on it and improve your physique, balance, and general strength. This book details the many benefits of a balance board, and gives good general advice on how to improve balance, flexibility, and health. I love how the author includes exercises one can do without a balance board, and also talks about the role balance plays in everyday life. If you've ever failed a sobriety test you know what I'm talking about (kidding!!). Moving on, this book's main section, exercises one can perform with a balance board is comprehensive and informative. Each specific exercise includes details on what it strengthens, pictures of it being performed, and step-by-step instructions. There are over 50 different balance-board exercises included, and, although I haven't tried them all, they are all beneficial. A perfect book for those looking for some inner balance.

I like how it is setup and pics are very helpful.
This summer we have been out on the lake with our new stand-up jets and paddle boards. When watching people doing these activities it looks like you are just standing up, but in reality you need a tremendous amount of balance and core strength to stay on them. These balance board exercises really focus on balance and core strength. I'm still looking it over but so far I like it. It's very informative, the introduction was concise and easy to understand. It has a list of different programs already designed to help you in your sport.I like how it is setup and pics are very helpful. You can get into these exercises with an inexpensive balance board, I can't wait to get started.

Great instruction to improve balance
At 82 years old improving my balance is an important part of my fitness training. I bought a Wobble Board and Dr. Knopf's book to learn how to use it. The instructions with illustrations are clear and the progressive programs are well thought out and presented. I have already moved from the beginner program to the intermediate one and can already see and feel positive results. I can feel that I am using muscles that I have rarely used before especially in my core and lower body. Great instruction and guidance.

Be physically fit to do any sport.
Great book for enhancing your balance. Incorporate the balance board in your daily exercise routine to change it up and improve your balance. It is also a good program if you are a downhill or cross-country skier or snowboarder. Continue working on the balance board through out the summer and be ready to go back out on the snow in the winter with no muscle soreness. There are many, many exercises for all parts of your body. Exercises are in the sitting, standing, prone and lying on your back. Weighs, bands, kettle balls and the balance board are all used through out the book. There are even yoga poses used on the balance board and a land sports program. So no matter what sport you are interested in, this book is for you. You can be in shape and ready for any adventure.

This book was recommended to me in accompaniment to my new balance board
I've been working hard to get into shape and have been looking at a variety of things to do so. One of the coaches I've worked with has mentioned a balance board so I decided to give it a try in hopes that it would help with my back and some of my knee issues. This book was recommended to me in accompaniment to my new balance board. First thing is first - a balance board is twice as hard as I could have imagined. I tried using it at work with my standing desk - it was brutal! This book makes stability workouts 1,000 times easier then when I was attempting to use it on my own. I really liked the style of the book and how each excercise was broken down. It contained both usable information and information to fill my quench for knowledge - I loved it and found both very useful. If you're afraid of looking like a fool on your balance board - no worries, you probably will! This book will help you through looking a little less of a nerd Your body will thank you for the investment!
