Balance Disc with Air Pump Wobble Cushion for Stability Workout 2 PCS

Used balance disc at physical therapy , so bought this and showed it to my therapist. He said they were good and just like the ones they use. Sturdy and can inflate to make it easier or deflate and make it more challenging. I gotta inflate mine more lol

I use this product to stimulate receptors in the sole of my feet which then wakes up the whole body. After stepping off the cushion your foot hugs the ground firmly and balance is improved. I also use it with senior clients for same reasons. Brings about a new awareness.

It's hard - very, very hard - to find ways to exercise at home (or anywhere) when you have a back and/or spinal injury. They really are an easy though effective way of helping work your core, which include: - latissimus dorsi (critical for stabilizing your whole body) - pelvic floor muscles (control bladder and bowels, for women these are big time birth muscles) - transversus abdominis (lower abs, keep your core muscles aligned) - quadratus lumborum (deep in lower back & support posture, seriously painful when they spasm) - multifidi (control spinal joints, typically associated with low back pain that will NOT go away if they start to atrophy) - internal and external obliques (help you bend and twist side to side) - rectus abdominis (your proverbial 'six pack', important in being able to breathe deeply) - rector spinae group (run along your spine and help with posture, and what usually are affected when your back is in a ton of pain and you're having muscle spasms) - diaphragm (controls breathing)Balance discs are one of the handful of at-home exercises my neurosurgeon and PT guy will let me do. They don't require any special training, or any other special equipment. YouTube, Google, etc. are chock full of tips and routines to incorporate into your daily workout with these disks. As soon as you inflate them you can start using these disks. Seems counterintuitive, but you really do want to start with the disks well-inflated. This makes them really stable, though I do recommend having a counter or chair back nearby to grab in case you bobble too much and need a hand to regain your balance. As you work your core muscles and they get stronger and standing on the disk is too easy, it's time to let some of the air out. The flatter the disk, the harder it is to balance. There are other ways to use beyond balancing on them on one leg. Use them to had difficulty to your pushups, sit on the disk and slowly bring your knees up to your chest (feet off floor!) while balancing on your bum, kneel on disk and rotate torso from side to side while keeping yourself balanced, modified sit-ups, planks, and so on. As far as exercise equipment goes, these are one of the better pieces your can get because you can incorporate them into many of your exercise and/or stretching routines, they are super easy to maintain (a quick rinse will get any hair or dirt off of them), a deflated disk and the small pump are perfect for travel. When I am done using each day, I can quickly stash one or both disks on a small shelf in our close. Aside from talking a walk, these disks are as close to no effort - no special equipment as you can get.

Great price for 2. Study and durable. Came inflated enough to use as is. These don't seem as if they'll require a lot of reinflating.

I had trouble just balancing myself on one foot before using these. Using these for a couple of months I can balance on one foot on one of these. And can now easily balance on one foot on the floor.

As described.

It’s was a good product.

These are very thick inflatable balance discs that serve their purpose well. My wife wanted them for a variety of aerobic type exercises that she is interested in, and she has used them somewhat regularly in the month or so since we received them.At first, inflating them was kind of a pain with the included pump; it doesn't inflate very quickly or efficiently, but in the end, it gets the job done. Once inflated, I noticed that both discs in the set buckled inwards in places. It doesn't necessarily affect their performance, but it's worth noting that they don't completely hold their form. Once you're on them and putting some weight down, they seem to be more correctly formed.The material they're made from is incredibly thick. Since my wife is about 95lbs and I'm about 185lbs, neither of us even comes close to approaching the weight limit, but it's nice to know that we could use these with some amount of weight if we wished as well.Overall, good quality and a reasonable value in the low 20-something dollar range at present. If you need balance discs, you could do worse than these!

The product is colourful, sturdy and seems well-made. It came with a pump and two needles for inflating (came inflated). I am using it to teach my Irish Setters to balance on them and to help me with stacking positions for the show ring. My only complaint is that it took two months to arrive. :( I see the price has gone up considerably so I assume they were hoping I would cancel my order.
