SlackBlock Athletic Balance Trainer – Improve Balance, Stability, and Athletic Performance – Condition Your Body and Prevent Injury - Compact and Portable

This is a good product but be careful if you have leg issues. I usually stand next to a wall or shelf while using. Just barely touch wall if possible. Be aware of strain in one or both legs. I usually do 15-30 seconds on a side. People with no injuries and in their teens or 20's can probably do this without needing something to hold on to and probably for more time. Adjust to your ease of movement and avoid pain.

Nice

This is simple, lightweight, and ingenious tool, has become a welcome addition to my functional strength and training routine. I utilize it between sets of abdominal, back, and aerobic exercises. Even as a lifelong athlete with an emphasis on fitness, in the few short weeks I have been incorporating slackblock, I’m noticing improvements in posture, balance, and even in my confidence. It stows well in my gym bag and is an elegant alternative to my gym’s bulky balance equipment. 14” seems to be an optimal mix of functionality and portability. A worthwhile investment.

Compact, silent, effective.

Use something to hold for balance. Great ankle strengthening.

The Slackblock with its core intact is a bit easier to stay up on than a GiBoard, and is about 1/3 the price of a GiBoard. I have both and like and use both. I've only had them for a short time and I think that, in the long run, I will prefer the difficulty and versatility of the Giboard. Both are excellent, but if you want to be able to walk a bit like on a real slackline, or do some tricks the GiBoard is your Huckleberry. If you just want to train or rehab your balance, the Slackblock is an excellent choice.

I was a bit of a skeptic when I bought this, but I really want to improve my stability. I love how easy it is to use, and it takes up very little space. I pull it out and use it for 10-15 minutes every day, and I feel that my stability and balance have improved. My feet feel stronger when I run. I'm no longer a skeptic.

I got this to provide a stability exercise in my office while not taking up lots of space. This is super easy to use but hard to master. It even has little pieces underneath it that you can remove to make it slowly harder. This provides lots of room for growth with it. The only negative is it is a simple device so there are not lots of different types of exercises you can do with it. The material of the foam is premium and the grip on the top of it allows someone to easily stand on it.

Very effective for balance improvement

Sehr gutes Übung Teil. Kann ich empfehlen.
