A great 2 for 1 exercise, is to gather a couple dozen stones of varying sizes, textures, and shapes. Stand on one foot and pick up each one with one foot and place them on the opposite side of the other foot. Then do the same thing with the opposite foot. While you are increasing dexterity in one foot, you are really working the foot that you are standing on as well.
In some ways I feel like balancing on two feet (especially when I spread them as far out as possible) is actually harder than balancing on a single foot.
Love your demo and sound advice on using one of these balance boards. :) I'll be buying one soon as I'm currently rehabbing an ankle/foot injury from a pinched sciatic nerve. not fun... :( My PT uses one similar to this but a bit larger. Will probably pick up one of another brand as the amazon model is now only available "used".
Thanks for this ! Do you think this board would be good as well for strengthening the front part of the foot or minimalist shoes + proper walking techniques can only do that ?
Walking is the best practice overall, but as for foot pressure/position this is a valuable tool. Pressure/articulation will be largely depending on ankle strength and this is a great ankle tool.
Grown and Healthy Im interested in your opinion about compression socks 🧦 for walking and running. Are they another modern device which hinders natural foot, ankle and calf improvements?

I've owned this board since June and was awful at balancing on it, but now I'll give it another go. Great tips and review. Thank you.
Give it another try.
I use it at my standing desk, sometimes.
It keeps me engaged.
I just ordered my Amazon balance board. It arrives on Tuesday....I can't wait to use it!!!
Great! I know you will benefit from it, it is a great tool.
I haven't used my balance board in a while. I gotta get back to it. Thanks for the video!
I will be using this, standing at my desk, to get more practice. Thanks for watching!
My balance board arrived a day early....Nice!!!! While it's increasing my athletic acumen I'm having fun as well....
Great!
Just bought a similar board for strengthening my hip which is giving me pain, but also for salsa dance which requires balance. I have high hopes.
try the moonlanding exercise on it......

That is a good challenge, also.

Hey, loved your review!
How much weight can this balance board take??

would you recommend this board for standing desks?
That would be too intensive for me to focus.. but if you fidget a lot, it may help.
I like it ...allot! You should add a link to it and get credit from Amazon.
I will. Thanks.
At 65 i estimated 1.25 million car miles. Lots of imbalance.
This board will help you develop your balance, but it isn't a necessity.. I advocate going outside and try balancing on curbs, posts...anything.
