Optimize Calorie Burn by Adding This to Your HIIT Workout – Cross Fire (Inertia Wave)

Work your heart, lungs, and core with Cross Fire (Inertia Wave); add it to your HIIT routine for intense calorie burn. This is an advanced exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to performing on StrongBoard Balance. Exercises conducted with the INERTIA WAVE mimic a spring-like fluid movement and are designed to elevate the heart rate and work the entire body cognitively, providing overall engagement.

Steps

1. Start off by grabbing each end of the two inertia wave tubes, stretching them out enough to create resistance.

2. Step onto the StrongBoard platform with the sides of your feet against the platform handles. Because of the resistance pulling you forward, you can place your feet back about two inches from the normal stance. This will help counter the pull of the inertia wave.

3. Keep your body spring-like and stiff at the same time. Your ankle, knees, and hips will be flexed during this exercise but it is important to keep your abs braced. Hold the end caps of the tube securely and start to transversely flutter both tubes simultaneously on a horizontal plane. Move both tubes together as if emulating one continuous snake slithering through the grass. The Cross Fire movement is a spring-like oscillated side-to-side continuous pattern. This pattern results in a whipping motion.

4. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions/sets.

Tips

Keep the spine erect and abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can squat during the Cross Fire. You can also go for longer bouts before rest.

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 Brings Balance to Mom’s Workout

StrongBoard Balance Board April Contest 2StrongBoard is celebrating Mother’s Day by gifting one StrongBoard to a lucky mom whose family or friends posted about them on Twitter (@StrongBoardBalance), Facebook, or Instagram. Although the contest ended April 30th, it’s always a good idea to check the Contest Section (just scroll down on the home page) of StrongBoardBalance.com.

Hint: There is another giveaway going on right now which is accepting entries until May 31st, which you can learn more about here.

StrongBoard can help moms get fit in a number of ways, including body building, CrossFit, HIIT, and yoga. For those moms looking to find their balance again while rehabbing an injury or physical therapy, the StrongBoard Mini may be ideal. The great thing about StrongBoard is its ubiquitous application to any sort of physical activity, workout, or sport. It’s truly a challenging, fun way to get a workout in, as moms will never get fully balanced on the board, but may find it brings balance to their life when they are off the board.

For any moms out there wanting to get fit but in need of some inspiration, try joining a StrongBoard Balance Group X class. Working out in a group environment, particularly if you have friends join you, has been proven to motivate fitness at much higher rates. In California StrongBoard Balance classes are available in Bakersfield, Marina del Rey, Murrieta, Wildomar, Santa Monica, and Irvine. The class schedule can be seen here.

Competitive Lifters, Balance and Injury Prevention

StrongBoard Balance Board Scott O'Neil

Any personal trainer with a reputable certification, whether it be in body building, CrossFit, or HIIT, won’t start you off by throwing you right into the workout. They’ll start by warming you up, teaching form and injury prevention.

Balance is an integral part of injury prevention and mastering form. Having a good sense of balance will help prevent any accidental injuries which may occur from losing one’s balance, and help you avoid potentially scary injuries.

Strong goals aren’t achieved over night, and can take years of dedication to reach, which is why longevity is so important. While freak accidents happen, it is more often the little details, which build up over time and prevent someone from reaching their goal. In this case, we’re talking about being a little off balance, leading to compromised posture and improper form.

Being a little off balance isn’t a big deal, but over time it will catch up with you, creating extra soreness and even chronic injury or pain. By getting on your StrongBoard and working on exercises you regularly do at the gym or your box, you can practice great form, see your posture improve immediately, and prevent future injury.

Check out this video of our StrongBoard Ambassador Auwana Brown @AuwanaIsGifted and see how she’s using StrongBoard to work on perfecting her form:
