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.

StrongBoard Balance® Uses Science to Take Balance and Stability Training to New Levels

Fitness Company Presents the Unique Benefits
of MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™

LOS ANGELES (July 25, 2018) – The makers of the StrongBoard Balance® have made public the science behind their innovative platform. Supported by evidence proven in Hooke’s Law and Newton’s Laws, MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™ when activated, recruits more muscles than existing balance platforms, and offers an unparalleled, multiplanar approach to both balance and stability training.

The board’s effectiveness comes when a user stands on the platform, the four springs either extend or compress – which is stated in Hooke’s Law – and each progression from this point, depends on the distribution of weight and the placement of hands and feet in relation to the center or fulcrum. The spring compression and extension creates immediate instability, forcing a user to contract muscles in both the core musculature and the smaller stabilizing muscles around the joints.

As Newton’s Third Law states, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”  Therefore every contraction to stabilize perpetuates an opposite reaction, thus creating variable instability across all planes of motion. Once the action and reaction chain is initiated Newton’s First Law comes into play asserting, “An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion.”

StrongBoard Balance helps users find their center of gravity while stationary (over the fulcrum) AND in motion (in various progressions away from the fulcrum). The contractions occur automatically and involuntarily when any weight is applied to the platform. This results in increased blood and oxygen flow to the engaged areas which improves healing, repairing and strengthening of muscles, tendons, ligaments and neural pathways.

“In the simplest terms, MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™ 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,” said Mike Curry, fitness expert and creator of StrongBoard Balance. “From professional athletes to fitness enthusiasts to the average person who wants to be healthy, StrongBoard Balance® is changing the way people view and experience balance and stability training.”  

StrongBoard Balance is a portable, non-electrical platform that rests on four compression springs that allow users to train by using their own body weight for resistance during full-motion exercises. The springs act as a fulcrum and create a first-class lever system that operates much like a seesaw, but with 360 degrees of movement around the fulcrum providing unlimited dynamic articulation.
