Scrap, what size Diameter is that roller in the first part of the video?

Also does the weight of the roller matter?



edit: also for the balls exercise, I'm using 2 basketballs right now, as I cant afford to buy two medicine balls at the moment...it's tough they weigh 1.35 lb each and have a circumference of 30 inches.. hopefully that's not too big and too light.. overtime I will probably go out and buy 2 medicine balls... it's hell balancing on these damn basketballs

The next step is walking on them .

lol... that might take some time.


but umm, the roller? any idea what the diameter should be? and how heavy should it be (if that matters)

[Scrap]

8 inch, but you can get away with 6 inch, or use wooden ones, and cover them with an old tyre innertube of a car

Looks great, Imagine retraining one of those top gymnastic fellows from circ du solie into a fighter they would already have alot of the ground work like this done.

Scrap,

I noticed your wobble board is square, as opposed to most commercial wobble boards that come circular.

Is there an advantage of having it square or does it not matter?

I ask because I have a 24" piece of wood cut out as a circle already that I was going to use to make a speed bag platform. I can just attach a pvc endcap to the bottom of it and I should be good to go.

Student it doesnt matter.

If someone can confirm, anyone heard of trying shadow boxing in a low squat position to aid balance skills and agility when upright? I'm sure I once read this online.

Bchristian, I think I was the 1st to come up with the idea of the wobbly about 88. Reebook came up with one which to my mind is crap, perhaps they were thinking insurance at the time keeping the movement restricted. With a 2ft platform you need it to be 8* inch of the floor for it to work properly.
