I use wobble boards very seldom. Usually with clients rehabbing ankle injuries, but like you not so much about balance but more the rocking motions. We use stability balls but not anywhere near as much as I have in the past. Not a lover of balance boards that much either. I have never invested in a bosu so sadly won't take you up on your offer.

It's crazy how there always seem to be fads in our profession: step aerobics, Nautilus, stability balls, Pilates, kettlebells, suspension training, HIIT, BOSU, etc. Many fads are legit but others fade away, and we are left to look back thinking "what the heck was all the excitement about?" Wobble boards were never my thing...I believe I last used one when I worked in a training studio, with a client who had ankle issues...had her do lateral and forward/backward rocking rehab-type work as active rest. Goal wasn't even to balance on the board but to use it to guide the movement. At the time, I worked with a guy who seemed to love balance board training. He had everyone standing on a board while doing overhead presses. It seemed his "star" clients were those who could do a single-leg balance on the board while doing a 1-arm press. I do love lots of stability ball exercises but have gotten away from using it over the last couple of years. I have a BOSU for sale if anyone wants it! :) Great post, Narina!

Stand on one foot with your foot centered between the cones (but about 2 feet back). Perform a half squat and reach with the opposite hand across your body to the cone. eg Standing on right foot centered between cones, reach with left hand to right cone. Do not touch other foot down between reps. 8-10 reps each side. Bjorn – Cone squats – place two cones about 2 feet in front of you and about 2 feet apart.
