Balance boards have been around for a while—the first models hit the market in the 1990s to give surfers a way to train on land. Today, balance boards are popular with a broad audience, including not only watersports enthusiasts but also anyone looking for a fun and challenging way to stay fit. Known as "wobble boards," "balance boards," or "stability boards," they are versatile tools that combine fitness, therapy, and balance training in an ideal way.
What Makes Balance Boards So Popular?
Using a balance board requires focus, promotes balance, and engages all muscle groups. They are not only an effective training tool for athletes but also perfect for home workouts or outdoor sessions in the park. Balance boards fit into nearly any training routine, make for a great fitness break in the home office, and bring a bit of the surf feeling into everyday life. Here’s everything you need to know about buying a balance board:
Starting Balance Board Training – What Do You Need?
To get started, you only need a balance board and possibly a floor mat to protect the floor and dampen noise. A chair can be helpful for your first attempts to provide stability as you step on the board. Having a clear space free of furniture nearby also reduces the risk of injury.

Balance Boards for Kids
Children often have a natural sense of balance and find balance boards especially exciting. A balance board helps develop motor skills and strengthens balance in a playful way. Children can generally use most balance boards, but adult supervision is recommended, especially in the beginning.
What Do I Train with a Balance Board?
Balance boards improve balance, stability, and coordination and specifically strengthen deep muscles, as maintaining balance requires strong core tension. Balance boards can also be incorporated into strength exercises, such as push-ups, to intensify the workout. They are also used in rehabilitation to target specific muscle groups and improve movement coordination.
