Standing desks are all the rage now because of their supposed health benefits, and this balance board is designed to maximize those health benefits and ensure that you are comfortable while working with a standing desk. A very thoughtful and decent gift for those who like an active lifestyle and already have standing desks.
This balance board for standing desks has an ergonomically engineered design that has the primary function of reducing fatigue of the user. This is done by suspending the legs and by extension, the body, at an 8.5 degree tilting angle from the floor instead of the usual flat zero degrees that most people stand at. The benefit of this is that the balance board keeps your legs, core and body active while using a standing desk, helping to improve your focus while working, and reducing fatigue and foot tension.
For best results you should use the board either barefooted or with your socks on, as wearing shoes will eliminate the benefits you can get from the massage points.
The board itself is made from non toxic, odorless, high density latex and has a textured finish on the outside to prevent slippage on whatever surface it is placed, as well as reduce the risk of scratches. It is built to withstand weights of up to 320 lbs. The upper surface of the balance board where you place your legs is covered with small protruding nubs that serve as massage points for your feet. With dimensions of 20L X 13.9W X 2.2H (inches), and weighing in at 2.69 pounds, the balance board is portable enough to carry along with you, in case you have standing desks both at home and in the office.
Beyond its use for reducing fatigue at work, the balance board is also a very capable exercise companion. If you’re looking to add some more challenge to your workout routine, then you can make use of the balance board to up the intensity of exercises like push-ups, squats, or planks. It will keep your legs and core even more engaged with trying to maintain your balance during reps.
