Gaiam Evolve Balance Board for Standing Desk

Product Information

Shift your weight so the edges of the board don’t touch the floor. Your arms can be in front of you or at your sides. The Uncaged Ergonomics Base+ Balance & Stability Board offers a design that is supposed to keep you balanced without tipping over. Unlike the other products on our list, the Gaiam board comes with slight cushioning that prevents fatigue. It is recommended for anyone whose job involves standing for longer periods of time. Compared to more expensive options like the FluidStance, the Revbalance Focus offers remarkable value with customizable balancing options. You can adjust the cushion’s air level to tailor your balance challenge without the need for a pump. This flexibility sets it apart. But standing still in one position for a long period of time isn’t going to make much more difference.

The Plane Cloud is a convex shape balance board with noise-reducing rubber stoppers at the ends. This beginner-friendly wobble board offers 360° freedom that mimics the natural ankle movement. Together with the deodorizing textured foam top, it’s like you’re walking on clouds while working. The customers that use this product love the design, but say it’s a bit bothersome having to set it up before use as it is heavy. Depending on how big your feet are, the URBNFit might be too small for you since it’s only 13” in diameter. That said, if it was bigger it wouldn’t be as portable or versatile as it is now. How can a standing desk balance board improve my standing desk experience? A balance board is a way you can exercise at work without having to go to a gym. It’s an effective way to combine exercising with your work routine which ultimately leads to improved productivity and health & fitness. Many wooden surfaces are covered with a non-skid material to help soothe the feet and avoid slipping. Some plastic balance boards have spikes on the surface to increase their therapeutic effects on the feet. Some roller boards also come with additions of a non-skid mat. Board Type

It features a sleek bamboo platform placed on a durable aluminium base. The base includes a protective floor mat. Whether you want to improve your posture or stay active at work, a great balance board can make spending the day at your desk even more engaging. Using a balance board with a standing desk also has a ton of its own potential health benefits, including improved balance, coordination, and injury prevention, since your time on the board helps strengthen crucial joints.

Using a premium-quality standing desk mat made of 100% polyurethane will do the same, but obviously to a lesser degree. We always recommend pairing the two accessories so that you can use a mat when you really need to be static (such as when doing delicate mouse work) and a board when you feel the need to take a break from static standing.

There are many different types of balance boards, each with its own traits and for a different purpose. Generally speaking, the main purpose is to improve your balance and coordination. When choosing the right balance board for a standing desk you have to look out for the following features: Seriously, the last thing I want to do on a zoom call is biff it and get a bloody nose. This board is the perfect balance: not too much work to stay on, but enough engagement to keep your mind active.

The tilting degree: another important thing to keep in mind when choosing a standing desk balance board is the degree of tilt it has. A balance board with a high degree of tilt will be quite extreme for someone who isn’t very adept at maintaining his/her balance. So, try and choose a board that provides just enough tilt that you can work out your core and leg muscles while at the same time be comfortable and not have to spend all of your time straining to maintain your balance. If you, however, really desire to improve your balance and you are sure this won’t interfere with the discharge of your duties, by all means, go for a balance board that will challenge you. 6 Benefits a Standing Desk Balance Board Offers YouParticipants performed a total of 1.5 hours of typing — 30 minutes in each of the 3 positions.
