Proprioceptive Training

[The Student]

Student you can get a wooden one, go into a wood yard and ask. Get one about 2 foot, theres some great stretching routines you can do with it.

nice.. thanks, I got a wood yard not to far from me, I think I'll go check it out...

what would I actually call it? Wood Roller? Wood Cylinder?

or is there some sort of a proper term for it?

[Scrap]

I call them logs, find an even one then take the bark off. Then go and get a car innertube and cover the log with that. Its a great bit of kit for ironing the muscles out .

[The Student]

aha! I see.

I just figured that a log wouldn't be a perfect cylinder. But if its just a simple log without the bark, that should be straight forward enough

Scrap, I just went out and bought two 6 lb rubber medicine balls. The only problem is that they are very squishy, almost like a stress ball or something. So when I stand on it, its just caves in. It holds my weight fine, but definitely doesn't hold shape at all.

Whats ur suggestion? return and purchase a different pair of balls that'll actually somewhat hold form?

[Scrap]

Yes it is.

[The Student]

Yes it is.

hahah, DONE.. no more balancing on basket balls. I just went and got myself 2 nice medicine balls

do they sell these commercially? I would rather spend a little extra and just order one, since I'm all thumbs

Please provide a link if anyone has seen them. I tried a search... but I was looking for boxing specific. I guess a snowboarding/skateboarding one would work??

And how often do you do this? every session just like shadowboxing or the like?
