  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).

Steps

1. Begin by grabbing each end of the two Inertia Wave tubes, pulling them out enough to create some resistance.

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

3. Keep your body spring-like and stiff at the same time. You should employ flexed ankles, knees, and hips during the Double Dutch method.

4. Hold the end caps of the tube securely. Start by rotating your right hand in a clockwise motion, while rotating your left hand in a counterclockwise motion. Both tubes move independently in an alternating clockwise pattern. The method of Double Dutch is a spring-like oscillated, continuous circular pattern.

5. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions/sets/duration.

 

Tips

Keep your spine erect and abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can squat while performing Double Dutch. You can also go for longer bouts before rest.

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.
