Hit The Target
Use these 5 balance board exercises to target the core area and improve functional strength and stability.
You don’t have to lie down prostate when you exercise for core strength and abdominal muscle definition. The Rooboard increases the intensity of plank and leg lift core exercises. It also encourages perfect form which reduces the chances of injury.
1. Plank Cross Step
The plank cross step is an excellent exercise for core strength and stability. As with all plank exercises try to keep the back straight as possible.
Tap the forward foot in line with its opposite elbow.
2. Plank with leg lift
Improving abdominal and lower back strength is vital for good posture and avoiding lower back pain and injury.
The plank with leg lift using the Rooboard balance trainer is simple exercise for core strength. The Rooboard forces the core to engage to maintain balance which increases the intensity of the workout leading to faster and more pronounced strength gains.
3. Static Plank
The static plank can be performed from the hands or on the forearms. Keep the body as straight and tight as possible. Performing the static plank on the Rooboard increases the intensity markedly. First time users are amazed at the extra effort required and the targeted isolation of the core muscles.
4. Plank with side steps
Adding a side step to the plank adds a complex stability movement and increases oblique strength.
Again – keep the back as straight and tight as possible. This is a more advanced exercise. Do not sacrifice form for repetitions.
5. V Sit-Up With Leg Lift
Try to keep your upper body in a static position and do not over extend the leg lift.
