hospitals, sports teams, and physical therapists. Our customers have given us feedback stating that because of the board design they are also able to use it as an ab core training device.

The cushion should have enough air in it so that it is unstable when you place the BoBo Board on it.
The more you inflate the harder the exercise is.
Start with just few pumps in and try the exercises/games. If that's too easy, inflate a little more.
Do not inflate too much as the surface will be super-unstable and very hard.

Yes, both the BoBo Home and BoBo Wobbly boards are adjustable. The BoBo Home comes with an inflatable cushion. Watch this video on how to pump air into the BoBo
Home cushion. The BoBo Home board itself can be placed on top of any balance element like a Bosu or with the provided balance cushion.

The BoBo Wobbly is compatible with an inflatable bagel cushion, also adjustable for balance level comfort. If you want to challenge yourself more, increase the amount of air within the tube. If you want to lower the level of difficulty, release a bit of air out of the tube.

The BoBo Wobbly is made from durable plastic which can support a weight
up to 330lbs. The BoBo Home is made from sturdy wood and able to support a weight up
to 450lbs.

Importance of Balance Training

Good body balance is important
for all ages. Balance is key to all of our daily functions and better body balance prevents injuries. Our ability to sit, stand, walk, etc. all depend on balance. With BoBo it isn’t just “improving” your balance it’s “playing to improve” your balance which increases
your overall quality of life.

BoBo is for anyone and everyone! It can be used for family fitness game night and simultaneously in rehab settings. BoBo customers include injured athletes, the elderly, and kids who desire to improve their agility, attention, focus, and overall balance.

Yes, the founders of BoBo are two physical therapists who work with patients and observe the daily positive impact of balance training practice.

Safety

Place the board on a dry, non-slippery floor in a well-lit obstacle-free environment. If possible, we recommend placing the balance board in the corner of a room next to 2 walls which can add extra support as needed. In addition, another chair or table in front of you for added support.

Step onto your BoBo board one foot at a time, holding a stable object for support. Always wear shoes or be barefoot when using your balance board, never use it while only wearing socks.

Yes, absolutely. Both the BoBo Home and BoBo Wobbly are supported with inflatable cushions. Therefore, if you want to reduce the level of height and difficulty, simply release some of the air so the board is closer to the ground. As you improve and want to challenge yourself even more, add more air into the cushion.

It is possible to use your BoBo board with shoes or barefoot. Never use the board while wearing only socks.

Children

Playing outside is great although not always possible due to the weather or a playground isn’t close by. With BoBo, this screen time is healthy screen time! It is an active game benefiting your child’s motor skills, posture, and balance.

Yes, those aged between 4-6 need assistance from an adult to use the balance board. Children aged 6+ can operate the device independently.

Adult supervision is always required for children.

Seniors

As counterintuitive as it sounds, those who have the biggest fear of falling should go against their instinct and train. Rather than let fear prevent seniors from participating in daily life activities, take action to fight this fear to improve your balance and feel confident in your skin. Take the necessary steps to create a safe environment while you train and start improving your balance.

See question “How do I create a safe environment to use the BoBo Balance Board?” on these specific steps.
