Proprioceptive Training

[Scrap]

anybody tried it, been doing it for years with great results, heres some of the old stuff

[cambay411]

Hey scrap anything else on that would be awsome. Also if you can let me know where to get the equipment your standing on or even better a cheap way to make that stuff!!!!

[The Student]

not yet Scrap.. What are the two balls (no pun intended) he's balancing on? Medicine balls?

too many concepts to try, not enough time.. I feel like I wasted my best years

[Scrap]

Cambay they are Bowling Balls, but 2kg Medicine Balls are better. The wobble Board is from an old Gas Cylinder with a plate on it screwed to the wood. Rollers picked up at a Scrap yard. Been doing it for years, trouble is most of the Footballers I work with, dont want to do anything else, like a bunch of kids . Got about 2 hours of the stuff it just keeps evolving,theres so many nueromuscular adaptions come from it. Its great for cross dominance work.

Scrap, does the weight of the balls matter for that exercise.. would I be able to use 2 basketballs, instead of a pair of bowling balls or medicine balls?

[Scrap]

Not sure how strong Basketballs are, plus I would think they are a little to big for working the feet. One thing about the idea an offshoot, is its a great way of massaging the feet . It strengthens and stretches the sole and Heel, plus when the other bits and bobs are used it gets Hard. Plus with them being light they move, which is hard when youre skipping on them

[The Student]

hmm, well.. I'd say a pair of basketballs would definitely be strong enough to hold my weight, but yes they are light so they would definitely move around a lot more.

by the way.. I have ages to go sir, before I can skip on them.. I need to learn how to crawl before I walk or better yet skip.

Also, I own a medicine ball, but it seems a bit too soft, that was my only concern. It doesn't exactly hold shape when I put my weight on it. But I guess if I purchased another one, and tried standing on both the weight distribution would suppress the ball alot less.

Thanks Scrap, I'll just play around with basketballs since I have more than 2 already at home, then go out and buy another medicine ball when I get a chance and see how it goes.

... Now to find a cylinder that can hold my weight
