First, can we call it a balance disk instead? I mean, I get that it is literally made out of boards into a board but when I think board it usually has some sort of prefix like snow, skate, water, etc.
Second, I loved my simply board. To death. I picked it up at a Good Will store for $5. The stance was nice and wide, I could waddle to other areas of the office and it was great for finding different ways to fidget and get a little workout. Also it really helped check off some boxes for snowboarding fantasies. I was so thrilled with it that I proselytized any chance I got. That led to some heavier folks trying it on for size. Eventually a little crack in the side became two giant fractures. Was I to blame? Probably. I was a bit rough with it as well, refer to snowboard fantasy above.
So all of that preface was to explain my disappointment when I went to buy a replacement and saw all the other photos of cracked boards.
This brings me to the Wobble Balance Board by Amazon Basics. I've been on it the whole time I've been writing this review. 10 minutes in, I feel the burn. The stance is much narrower than the simply board which means different muscles are getting worked than I'm used to.
If you're used to a balance board then this shouldn't be a hard transition. If this is your first, then definitely a little intimidating.
You can get some twisting action on this, but not nearly as satisfying as the simply board. No waddling from place to place either.
Other than that! I love it and glad to have a fidget device for my standing desk!

Absolute best of its kind!
By Whitney Heeres on May 9, 2019
Absolute best product for foot/ankle physical therapy or rehabilitation. Very sturdy. I like the ratio of bottom toggle to top pad so much better than others I’ve used. The grip on top is helpful, but not at all painful on the foot & does not flake off. Such a good product!

The perfect companion for your balancing/muscle recuperation needs.
Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2020
So, I pinched a nerve... pretty much the hottest personality trait of mine for the next 2-3 months as I continue to recover. Along with that came physiotherapy, which my new physiotherapist recently recommended I try one of these balance boards to retrain the muscles in my left foot how to work properly again (and let's face it, she'd be physiotherapissed if I hadn't). I've been using it for the past week and have noticed a dramatic improvement in the strength of my foot, as well as my balance overall. It supports a heavy-built 6'1 man perfectly, so why wouldn't it support you? If it's helping me walk normally again, I'm sure you'll be able to find another use for it as well.
