BoBo Core Trainer Balance Board, Whole Family Fitness Device With Free Connected Game & Exercises App. Professional 15" Wood Board With Built-in Bluetooth Motion Sensor. For Kids, Adults & Athletes.

Amazing device to develop balance and stability. Highly recommended for any senior. You can start easy and progress to various levels of difficulty. Using the back of a chair or bar height to begin learning is a great tip. The app works well for training and the games are fun. Bluetooth easily connects and it is not a rechargeable, but a long lasting included battery. It is not an exaggeration to state it will keep you from the dreaded fall!

Very happy with this product!My children and I all have Ehlets-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), so we need total-body physical therapy (PT) to keep our joints stable.My kids (9 & 11) started using a Bobo at PT a year or two ago, as a reward for doing their other exercises. As part of their "graduation" to a home exercise program, their therapist recommeded we try to get a bobo for them to use at home.It took 2 extended families chipping in for a Christmas present, but we did it!Now they use it 2-3 times a week (we still use it as a reward, because there's not much they can do on it for upper body strengthening), and it helps keep them moving and motivates them to exercise.I started using it myself, and I'm impressed! My EDS is more severe than my kiddos, so I can barely do the 6-minute training workout, but I feel it working my whole lower body, from the core down, which I really need!I'm going to make it a regular part of my home PT, as well!My kids love the games, and maybe it'll get old in time, but so far it does what we need and makes therapy enjoyable for them! Since its eun through an app, I'm guessing it'll be possible to get more games by the time these ones get boring.

This thing is a serious piece of equipment! It's not too heavy or big, but it's hefty weight made me think twice about dropping it on the floor. Although I am a personal trainer and know how to do the recommended practice tests, I started in with the games because I was curious about how training would feel as a game. Don't be fooled. This is not a rival to the Wii or Xbox Kinect; this is a therapy tool. However, the games were pretty fun! I felt every muscle in my ankles and knees and hips after only 30 seconds, which surprised me since I do a lot of core work and unilateral exercise on my own.I also tried messing around with the Bobo in other ways. I tried it as a platform for doing planks, like placing my forearms on the Bobo and extending my legs out behind me in plank position. Tilting forward or backward helps target the lower or upper abs and also increases the tension on different areas of the shoulder joint. I also placed the board under my feet to do one-legged bridges and the instability there definitely makes a difference. I can see many, many applications for working with my clients, especially those that are older. Simply sitting in a chair with feet on the board and doing shoulder presses increases tension everywhere in the body.The games and exercises that come with the accompanying app are creative and fun, and got my 10 year old really into it. She kept asking me to use my phone! I like the movement patterns that show in the assessment modes, because I can back up what I am saying to my clients with a visual picture, which increases their body awareness as they move through the levels. At this price point, however, I think the app needs work. My daughter complained about the games bc she couldn't save her sessions. But she is a 10-year old used to playing Roblox for 4 hours a day. Also, I can't find a way to review the movement patterns after I've exited the app. The board itself is practical in that you can take it with you to a training, and its shape is conducive to use with other equipment, but the whole point would be to get that biofeedback from the app.UPDATE: I just heard from the manufacturer that they are working on a user dashboard. This will make the whole experience better, in my opinion.

The Bobo board makes strength training and exercise fun! I wanted something that would motivate me, that would train my core, and potentially help my low back/sciatic pain. This has fit the bill! Super easy to set up, and the app is great for training, testing, and having fun, all while building strength, increasing balance, and breaking a little sweat! Three months of physical therapy did not help my back. But this is using different muscles in my hips, legs, and back, and it is loosening some areas up, well strengthening others, and I am feeling a difference!I am hoping that they will add new games I am testing as the app is developed further. It would also be nice to have some videos with training tips.

I’m having trouble with my knees and the BOBO is great for exercising my balance either with the exercises offered, or by playing the games. It feels like my balance is improving a little each day. At my age (60s) that’s important!

It was fun while it lasted. Then it would not recharge. Lasted about a month.

I have used different types of balance boards in the past and I have to say that this is my favorite by far.A free easy to use app with a multi-level exercise plan measuring my performances in real-time, helps me to push my limits and recovery from strenuous sports. The interactive app also makes the workouts really fun!Strengthening my core has also resulted in less back pain post workouts and sports.BoBo board exercises improve my balance, coordination, and reaction time, critical to minimize injuries.

After I finally go this working ( I think there may have been something wrong w/ my WIFI) - it proved to be a most fun 'exercise' machine. I go this to help with my balancing (along w/ working some abs in there). It is challenging. What's great about this is that it have different levels for training and gaming, so one won't lose interest quickly.Since its small enough to travel with - one can take w/ them anywhere and challenge others! its fun features make it easy to play with. Highly recommended!
