Balancing Act

It’s easy to forget how important balance is to everything we do -- exercise, sports and everyday life. Luckily, it’s not hard to focus a little energy on improving balance.

Fitterfirst, founded by Louis Stack, makes a range of products that can help you improve your balance, increase mobility and strengthen your core. Having better balance and greater flexibility can not only make your other athletic endeavors easier but also make you less prone to injury. All of the products are uncomplicated and portable, so you can use them at home or at work. And they’re fun, too

The Classic Balance Board can help improve ankle strength and increase your range of motion -- and it’s easy to do while you’re talking on the phone, working at the office or watching TV. For more aggressive balance training, the 16” and 20” Pro Wobble Boards allow greater adjustments to the angle of the sphere to control how much the board will tip.

If you spend long hours in a desk chair, the ProActive Disc is a sitting tool for exercise and rehabilitation. It lets you shift your hips and move back and forth to align your spine and stay active in your core. The effect is like a yoga ball, only less obvious (a great way to improve your abs on the company dime).

Finally, at the end of a long day, your tired muscles will appreciate the TravelRoller, a super-dense foam roller that lets you massage anywhere that needs it -- your quads, back, shoulders, hamstrings, neck and more. (The TravelRoller Acupressure Kit includes a TravelRoller plus three acupressure balls and an instructional DVD.)

Are you ready to rock, wobble and roll?
