BALANCE TRAINERS
The key to stronger legs and better bottom turns
By Sandra Olson

Can you easily last through a long, 2-3 hour surf session?
Or do your legs begin to shake and you don’t get the power you should be feeling when you hit that bottom turn and try to make your way back up to the lip and through the next section? When all you really want is another ride, but your body is telling you no… What can possibly do to avoid this all-too-common scenario? BALANCE TRAIN!

With the many balance trainers on the market, who’s to say which is better and who invented it first, especially since we all have different body types and needs. Someone with knee trouble may not be ready to take on the aggressive Balance 360 Board, and would probably be better off starting on the more mellow but still effective- IndoFLO™ Balance Stimulator.
No matter what trainer you choose, the goal should be to increase leg & core strength, gently and with control, which WILL translate into longer and stronger surf sessions. And in case you’re wondering… NO, these won’t build your legs UP into bulky weight lifter legs… in fact, quite the opposite. You’ll find stronger and leaner legs are yours for the taking if you’re willing to commit to a couple training sessions per week, and you should also notice a little bit of a lift in the booty as well. That’s because BALANCE TRAINING also trains your core, and by stabilizing your core,
you’re also engaging the Gluteus Maximus… your butt!

NOTE: ALWAYS check with your physician before beginning any exercise routine.
