Operating Instructions

The balance board is designed for various exercises to enhance balance and strength. Always ensure you have adequate space and maintain proper form during exercises.

Basic Balance Training

1. Place the board on a firm, level surface.
2. Step onto the board with both feet, positioning them shoulder-width apart.
3. Slowly shift your weight to find your center of balance, attempting to keep the edges of the board from touching the ground.
4. Maintain a slight bend in your knees and keep your core engaged.
5. For beginners, hold onto a stable object or wall for support until comfortable.

Strength Exercises

• Push-ups: Place your hands on the board's non-slip surface, shoulder-width apart, and perform push-ups. The instability will engage more core and stabilizing muscles.
• Plank: Position your forearms or hands on the board and hold a plank position. This intensifies the core workout.

Caution: Always wear appropriate footwear when using the balance board to ensure optimal grip and prevent wear on the non-slip surface, especially if using socks.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Amazon Basics Wood Wobble Balance Trainer Board, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the board with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the board for any signs of wear or damage, especially the wooden top and the plastic base. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.

Troubleshooting

Slipping during use

If you experience slipping while using the balance board, consider the following:

• Footwear: Ensure you are wearing athletic shoes with good grip. Using the board barefoot or with socks can reduce friction and increase the risk of slipping.
• Surface: Verify that the floor surface beneath the board is clean and dry.
• Board Cleanliness: Check the non-slip surface of the board for any dust, debris, or moisture that might reduce grip. Clean as per the maintenance instructions.
