Upper Body Advantage

StrongBoard Balance Board Single Arm Cable Row with Plank for Shaping Upper Extremities

A common misconception when thinking about balance board workouts is that the upper body gets left out. This is because the first image that comes to mind is usually of a person standing atop the balance board. While this is reflective of the capability of most balance trainers, StrongBoard Balance has a vast range of utility, including upper body conditioning.

The board was made with versatility in mind: How can a stability trainer be the only tool someone needs for their home gym? It starts with how StrongBoard differentiates itself from the rest of the stability trainers on the market. Of the many stability trainers available for home use, they use transitory materials and are mostly air filled and/or limited in movement. t, made to do its mundane operation of balance practice. StrongBoard is made to be simultaneously discrete enough to not take up too much room in a living space while having a significant advantage for adequate upper body training. Take a push up for example, performing a push up on the floor allows you to use your major muscle groups to take yourself through the concentric and eccentric phase of that exercise. Now, doing a push up on StrongBoard allows the same muscle engagement AND in addition, all your smaller intricate stabilizing muscles along with your core to assist in the push up.
