6. BALANCE BOARD WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS

General notes
• If you still feel uncertain during your first training sessions, we recommend you
asking another person for assisting you getting on and off the balance board.
• This person may also help you during your first exercises, in case you are still
feeling uneasy.
• Once you can keep your balance without problem, the second person can throw a
ball during exercise for you to catch. That can help you further improve your sense
of balance.
Pre-exercise
• Step with one foot after another onto the tread surface and try to keep the balance
for a few seconds, even if you wobble back and forth a bit at first.
• After some time you will feel increasingly confident.
• Once you feel fully confident, try to stay on the balance board and keep your
balance with your eyes closed.
EXERCISE 1:
Step onto the balance board and
rock from side to side. Bent your
knees slightly while doing so.
Once you can keep your balance,
try to move like an imaginary 8
rocking back and forth and from
side to side.

EXERCISE 2:
Step onto the balance board and
abduct one leg laterally. Bent your
knees slightly while doing so.
Switch legs in-between.
EXERCISE 3:
Step onto the balance board and
swing to the right and left as if
skiing.
While doing so, swing both arms in
opposite direction.
EXERCISE 4:
You may also use the balance
board for push-ups in order to
strengthen your arm muscles.
Proceed carefully, since there is a
risk of the balance board tipping
over to the side causing your fingers
to be crushed.
