Test Your Balance and Coordination with this Exercise – Balloon Taps

Balloon Taps will test your balance and coordination with- and will work your brain, neuromuscular system, core and legs. This is an intermediate exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to using StrongBoard Balance. This method will enhance neuroplasticity and cognitive functioning. This exercise will increase hand/eye coordination and is a primarily cognitive exercise but will also strengthen the legs and the entire core musculature.

Steps

  1. Start by holding an inflated balloon as you step onto the StrongBoard Balance platform.
  2. Keeping your abs braced, shoulders in your back pockets, and knees slightly bent.
  3. Push the balloon into the air and tap it back and forth between your hands.
  4. Remember to keep the balloon out in front of you.
  5. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions or duration.  

Tips

Be sure to keep your abs braced. For more of a challenge, try bending your knees more to hold a static squat. You can also increase tempo of balloon taps; this will require you to think faster (cognitively).

StrongBoard Balance® utilizes MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™ that works with your body to deliver the perfect amount of stimulation to keep your core musculature and stabilizing muscles engaged and contracted, while training your central nervous system, improving posture, proprioception and reaction time.

Steps

1. Begin by taking a tennis ball and writing the numbers 1-6 on different sides of the ball with a sharpie.

2. Place your StrongBoard about 5-6 feet away from a blank wall.

3. While holding the numbered tennis ball, step onto the StrongBoard Balance platform, facing the wall.

4. Keeping your abs braced, and shoulders in your back pockets, throw the tennis ball against the wall.

5. As the ball comes back to you, call out the last number you see.

6. Remember to keep a slight bend in your knees as you make your throws.

7. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions or duration.

8. Switch hands and repeat for desired amount of repetitions or duration.

Tips

Be sure to keep the abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can bend the knees more to hold a static squat. You can also move the board further away from the wall. This will require you to throw the ball with more force, meaning you will have less time to react and call out the correct number.
