Bongo Board Basics
Bongo Board training takes only a small area, either indoors or out, and your own creativity sets the limit.
Here are some tips to get you started:
Moves range from basic to advanced.
Always start out using a spotter or support of some sort (ie. railing, sofa).
The harder the riding surface, the faster the board moves.
Give yourself plenty of open space to move in.
Advanced Technique for added challenge:
With eyes open, gently move your head up and down and side to side.
Perform squats while remaining balanced on board.
Attempt to catch or throw a medicine ball.
Attempt exercises with eyes closed.
Origin of the Bongo Board
The Bongo Board gained popularity in the 1960's as an off-season device for surfers and skiers. From the original patent, Fitter International Inc. offers an updated version of the Bongo Board, manufactured for stability and functional use to meet a variety of health and fitness needs. The Bongo Board is now one of the fundamental tools used around the world to build functional balance.
