pavlov's thrasher (reward indo boards)

myopicgreen Posts: 11 Joined: 2004/07/24	2004/08/03, 10:40 AM I’ve promised myself that I might have an indo board (see: www.indoboard.com) when I reach my first short-term fitness goal. Now, I’m going to get one no matter what because I adore new toys, but I’m very curious as to just what playing with it will do for me on a fitness level. Here are the areas on which it seems (through reading on the internet, so who knows?) to have a profound effect: 1) Balance (duh) 2) Core muscles (how exactly are these different from abs?) 3) Legs and lower back? It would be splendid to have the smart peoples’ advice on this – is the indo board a great tool or just a fun toy? Anyone else have a reward you're eagerly anticipating?

I've seen some street performers use those things... maybe I'll get one, throw a fedora on the ground and start busking!:big_smile: t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

I've used it and personally I think it's more of a fun "street toy" to go bring to the beach with a hat on the weekends rather than a useful tool.. atleast for the money. Yes it actually will and does build balance, however I really think it won't be noticable on your legs / lower back / core muscles, and I believe this is more appealing to the 13-16 year old guy for doing 'mad tricks' on.. rather than for someone interested in fitness.
