Wobble Boards

A wobble board is a kind of exercise device that is used for doing various sorts of step style exercises. By using wobble boards, people can perform some more complicated stepping moves and you can even integrate the movement of wobble boards into push ups and sit ups to add an element of balancing to them. Wobble board exercises are mostly focused on improving one's balance. A wobble board work out is also a common way of improving the function of a leg after an injury - because the wobble board exerciser can be moved freely by the foot and a person can choose to rest one foot on the wobble board, the amount of tension placed on the leg as well as the orientation of the leg in space can be adjusted throughout an exercise to put just the right amount of stress on it and stimulate healing without causing any further damage.

How to build a wobble board: a wobble board is basically a round flat surface that is somehow attached to the top of a hemisphere. The board can then tilt freely across the top of the hemisphere. Most wobble boards are made from some kind of plastic materials and have a manufactured joint on the top that is obscured by the shape of the round platform, but to make a very simple stand-in wobble board that you can use for a beginning wobble board routine all that you really have to do is cut a piece of material in the correct round shape and balance it on top of a ball cut in half (it is not advisable to perform two foot exercises and put all of your weight on such a wobble board as it is possible for the board to fall off of the ball).

Of course this does not allow people to do the main exercise that a wobble board is used for, in which one stands on the board (which can move over an angle of about twenty degrees maximum) and tries to keep the edges from touching the floor (that is, tries to keep the board level) just by standing on it and using the proprioceptor (orientation detection) muscles in the legs. The various types of wobble boards that can be purchased, such as a Fitter First wobble board, Atlus wobble board or electric wobble boards are all designed for such kinds of exercises.
