Bongo Board Review

As much as I talk about biking and am infatuated with riding, I’m also a huge fan of another wheeled conveyance – the skateboard.  Though I wouldn’t say that I ever managed anything outrageously impressive on my board, I always did love and still do love to ride.  So how could I not want to check out and review a piece of home gym equipment that looked exactly like a skateboard deck?

Balance boards have been around for quite a while but have probably been overlooked by most serious trainees due to the simple fact that they like more like a toy than a piece of equipment.  I can assure you that one brief session on a balance board of decent quality will quickly dispel that misconception though.  A good balance board is a very versatile tool that can quickly help to improve reaction time, coordination and really help to develop core strength.

I’ve tried a number of different balance boards, balls, pods and other implements and though I’ve certainly had a decent time and gotten a good workout on quite a few, the Bongo Board was far and away my favorite.  These boards are very well constructed and feel as though they would probably last a lifetime under regular use.

These boards are super easy to transport and can be used just about anywhere to provide a quick and intense workout that will most definitely improve overall health and sports performance.  Don’t feel as though you’ll be able to jump right on and master this piece of equipment simply because it is reminiscent of a toy you had as a teenager, this is one serious training tool that can give even moderately experienced trainees a bit of trouble at the outset.

If you are looking for a fun, unique and versatile training tool that will begin to improve your reflexes and coordination almost immediately or just another fun way to blast your core as you work hard to achieve those six pack abs, the Bongo Board will be a very welcome addition to your home gym.
