This board is different than other balance boards that I've used, and I really liked that. Even if you have another balance board, I'd recommend this one, too. It's probably most similar to skateboarding or snowboarding, but it will help your balance in any sport. It took me about three weeks to get to the point that I am today, but I started out super uncoordinated. You'll probably pick it up much faster. I thought it was a great balance board to learn on, too. I definitely felt a sense of accomplishment after I got my balance enough to stay up on it for a minute or two.
It says the weight limit is 300 lbs, but this is super sturdy. I think it would actually work anywhere up to a 400 pound person.
It's pretty simple. You just roll back and forth and balance on top of it. If you got really good at it, you could do tricks and turns, but I'm not good enough to do much more than roll back and forth. I feel like it's really good exercise, too, and you could use weights on it, too, if you got to be really good at it.
Pros:
+Works on any surface. I've used it mostly on carpet.
+Extremely sturdy. It would be very hard to break this.
+Helps you prepare your balance for any sport or activity
+Low impact, so you can use this even if you have sore joints
+After you get used to it, you could watch TV, play video games, or read a book while you're balancing
Cons:
-Very simple. You just roll back and forth.
