The Woggler: A Fun Way to Achieve Fitness, Balance and Tone
It doesn't matter whether you're a rehab patient with very poor balance or a pro athlete or anywhere in between, the Woggler balance board and accessories can help you achieve your goals. Everyone needs to improve balance because we use it every day. And the great thing about the Woggler is that it BUILDS BALANCE THE WAY YOU USE IT. Keep reading to find out why the Woggler is superior to other balance boards.
Advantage 1: The Woggler Begins With Stability
Because the Woggler begins with stability it is easy to mount. For those who may have disabilities or injuries and need special help we provide an attachment for the Woggler called the stabilizing rods that gives a further sense of confidence and control.
Advantage 2: The Woggler Develops Balance Like You Use It
In real life you have a sense of stability when you stand on the floor unless something is wrong with you. As you move you challenge and develop your balance since you have to deal with motion and weight transfer. Every time you move you have to deal with the weight of your body in a different way. That is why it is important to develop balance while in motion. To develop advanced levels of balance with the Woggler you become more difficult and athletic with the moves you perform. This principle allows you to develop balance like you use it. The Woggler enhances the experience while progressively increasing your abilities.
Advantage 3: The Woggler Uses Your Body's Entire Balance Tripod
Vestibular System
This is found in your inner ear which tells the brain that you are off balance but cannot do anything about it.
Proprioceptive System
This tells your brain where your body parts are in space. Proprioceptors are little sensors in joints, muscles, and tendons that communicates to the brain where your body parts are in space waiting to compensate for imbalance.
Visual Perception
When your brain makes a decision on how to deal with being off-balance, it is very important to include everything that is around in the space where you are moving. Developing balance means optimizing your ability to process all of this information together. The Woggle Gym program offers the Woggle Rug and Ring Game as tools for this purpose. You learn to judge distance and come down at a given point. You deal with peripheral vision as you learn to do 180's and 360's while targeting the visual cues provided. Optimizing your balance while doing 180's and 360's is important to most sports. When you incorporate catching balls and even a 6 lb. medicine ball the experience and benefit are even more profound.
Training balance with the Woggler enhances the experiences of using balance in real life.
