CanDo 10-1745 Economy Balance Board

I purchased this balance board, because balance-board exercises were recommended as therapy for the strained tendons that I developed in both legs from pushing my 72-year-old body much harder that I should have. I stand on the board for periods of time of about 15 minutes several times during an evening while watching the TV news, and in a few days I've learned to balance on it fairly well.What can I say about the board itself? It's sturdy and well constructed, and it does what it's supposed to do. It is also reasonably priced. The surface grips the soles of shoes, sandals, and flip flops securely. However, the same raised circles on the surface that do such a good job of providing traction for footwear make it very uncomfortable to use the balance board barefoot. A balance board is not a complicated product, and I'm sure there are other good ones on the market. For my purposes, this one works well.

Already knew when I ordered that this was too small for my size; couldn't find a larger one on line. Tried it and sure enough, 15 inches is not wide enough for an adult to stand with feet placed for balancing. Add old and chubby and you get "not working". As I said I knew this when I ordered, so I already planned a fix. We cut a 3/8 or 1/2 inch piece of plywood into a circle 20" diameter and then screwed it to the original board near the inner side. Now I have a balance board that is sized for me and it works great. All those who comment on it being dangerous due to slipping, need to remember that this is an unstable item (on purpose) and learn about physics before they try this device. For the older who want to maintain or improve their balance, I recommend this with the modification.

The media could not be loaded. As a senior who is active and into fitness of all sorts, I know how critical balance is as we age. I was looking for something inexpensive to help me regain some lost balance and, at the same time, work my core and burn some calories. There are a lot of balance boards available and I'm sure most of them are great and some may accomplish much more than this one. But for a beginning board or for an older person who is new to balance training, I love this board and love how it makes me feel.It's well made and sturdy. I don't know how much weight it holds. I weigh 120 lbs. I'm no expert at it as you'll see in my video. This is my first time on a board so it's nothing impressive. But, it will give you a look at what you might expect when you buy this and use it for the first time.I really love the board and I'm looking forward to working with it and even doing push-ups with it. Perhaps later I'll get a more challenging board but for right now, this one makes me quite happy.

This was used to strengthen a broken ankle and was the exact brand and model used at the physicalTherapy office.

This balance board does what it needs to, but the quality is a bit cheaper than expected. The raised bumps for traction are made of the same plastic, I had made the assumption they would be rubberized which would provide more traction. The board is still a bit slippery. I prefer to use the board without shoes and the raised bumps make it a bit uncomfortable.It is also a little smaller than expected. It is fourteen inches as the description says, but just seemed a bit small.Overall, for the price, this was a good purchase. It does what it is intended to do and can be used easily by kids as well.

worked great but I can no longer use it as I had total ankle replacement

CanDo 10-1745 Economy Balance BoardThis product came well-packaged in its own box. It appears as advertised, and has been very durable so far (usage three times a week for the past two months). I purchased this product to perform stability exercises. It works very well on a hard surface (tiled floor, not on carpet). The texture of the standing surface helps prevent slipping when using shoes or bare feet. Slipping does occur when using socks.

Had to get a balance board for a dance class assignment during quarantine. I chose this one because it was cheap and could get here in time. Fully expected it to be crap, but it works really well! I'm about 160 lbs and it bore my weight with no problem, even standing dead center for single-leg balancing. Even my dog had fun with it.

Muy bueno! He visto otros discos de costo mucho más alto y hacen lo mismo. La base es un poco plana y no muy alta, por lo que no es tan complicado mantener el equilibrio, siempre y cuando no cargues peso, eso aumenta la complejidad. Funciona muy bien para el entrenamiento en casa.

me and my husband are really pleased about it. we use it for our 7 yours old son therapy, since he walks tippy toes all the time. balance board helps him stretches his achilles tendons so he wouldn’t undergoes the surgery.

simple and exactly what the doctor ordered!

muy buen producto en cuanto a calidad y precio. saludos.
