INDO BOARD Original Training Package Balance Board for Fitness Training and Fun, Comes with 30" X 18" Deck, 6.5" Roller and 14" Cushion, 14 Color Choices

My husband talked me into getting one of these for our daughter's birthday. Really, he just wanted one for himself. Our daughter is a little small for the original still at 4, but she can do the cushion on her own. She likes the roller too, but someone has to hold her hands and help for now. But as I said, mostly it was for my husband, who is not at all in shape but used to surf and skateboard when he was younger. He has a lot of fun on it and found it pretty easy to get started.Most surprising is that I absolutely love this thing. The first time I used it, I was embarrassed and used it maybe 5 minutes before deciding I'd mess with it some other time when there wasn't an audience. The second time I had fun, but did a lot of holding on to our low ceiling. By the third time I used it, I wasn't so embarrassed since I could stay on a while and get back up much easier. I'm still no pro but I love using it, and it's a surprisingly good workout. I'm overweight and trying to get healthier, and I'm so glad my husband pushed for this thing. We've actually ordered another one (just a deck & roller this time) so that we don't fight over whose turn it is, and I'm pretty sure I've sold my cousin on buying one as well.Side note: the first one we received had cracks in the paint and customer service quickly replaced the deck with a new one with no problems.

First let me say that using this board is NOT easy!!! I watched all the videos on YouTube before ordering and thought, 'hey that looks pretty easy, I bet I could figure that out.' Well, after sever falls and a steep learning curve I can say that while I can't really do any "tricks" I can successfully balance on this board. It does give your abs one hellofa workout, and really helped get rid of some love handles in a fun way. But don't expect to hop on and master this thing in one afternoon. I might also add that it would be a good idea to order a few more pieces to go along with this set. Specifically the smaller cylinder. It will make the transition between these two pieces a lot easier. Also, this might go without saying (for some people, not me though, I had to learn the hard way) that this MUST BE USED ON CARPET!!!!!! You will fall and bust your face, ass and whatever else if you try this on wood floors.

Love the board, great graphics & so far functions fine but not happy it came slightly damaged. Several chips in the painted graphics on the top surface, actual gouges in the wood. These were very obvious and as you can tell from the clear coat & textured surface finish on top of the gouges this happened during manufacturing which should've also been caught BEFORE it was wrapped and packaged for shipping. So they knowingly sent a defect. If I wanted a blemished product I wouldn't have paid full price.

I am a 56 year old female who has never surfed, but I plan on learning if we go to Hawaii;) I've been having trouble with my ankles and the ligaments and tendons around them slipping out of place when I am at rest, especially after riding or driving the car or tractor for long periods. I've been doing physical therapy for weeks trying to strengthen them and work on improving my balance and core strength. I bought this set to mix things up a bit and keep things interesting. The circle pillow is easy and can be done right away. The roller had a slight learning curve; just the understanding that you can't be wimpy about getting around to tipping the board up onto the roller. You can't do just a slow roll and think it will work. It needs more like a committed tiny jump just to get the board up and balanced. If it's too scary at first, hold onto the back of a recliner chair until you get the hang of it. I do wish it didn't cost quite so much.

I purchased the board, roller, and cushion. At first, I thought that the cushion would really just be a transition to the roller but it's not; it's way more than that. The cushion provides 360 degree motion vice just back and forth on the roller - which may not sound like much but give it a try; this is some work. Ever had sore ankles?! I used the cushion first for a couple of days and then tried the roller. It has been a couple of weeks and I can do three squats on the roller in a row without touching! I can't quite go completely from one side to the other...but almost! I go back and forth between the cushion and roller regularly to change up the exercise. It's great for adding a stability/core workout to pushups, setups, curls, etc.I'm a somewhat fit late 50's female so if I can do it, you probably can too! :) It's really fun and I've been inspired to get on an actual skateboard. You can go all zen on it...or you can watch TV...great, flexible workout/balance trainer.

I love it, but I expected to. What I didn't expect is that my wife and son would put numerous hours into it over the last couple of weeks and develop better balance and have fun. My wife said she has never enjoyed exercising more than this. My little boy went from having no balance at all on it, to being able to stay up for over 10 seconds on his 3rd day.it also takes up so little room that we just leave it in the room in the middle of the floor and people will do it as they're walking over to the couch or watching TV. I think that helps a great deal in making sure it gets used and doesn't gather dust.Also, this thing looks beautiful!
