Lift, Move & Restore Upper Body Balance Workout

[forum_admin]

Cathe's Upper Body Balance Bonus Workout: In this upper body balance workout, we’ll use two balance discs to challenge our balance skills and upper body and core muscles in a different way than what you would normally do in a typical strength training routine. This workout is designed to promote balance, joint, and muscle health and will help to train us for everyday life challenges. Jenn will show modifications when possible for those of you who only have one balance disc.

Just what I need! I think I'll love this one!!

Not surprisingly this workout looks excellent. However, it reminded me of a question I posted earlier this year concerning balance disc firmness. I asked if there was a suggested psi for the discs but never received an answer. Therefore I must ask again.

 

[Debinmi]

It would at least be helpful to know the Maximum PSI just so I don't over-inflate & burst it - that would not be funny!

I love seeing that this is sooooo challenging that no one can stay perfectly in sync with the rest of the crew.

@Debinmi my discs came pre-inflated. The packaging says "anti-burst up to 600 pounds" though I'm not sure that translates accurately to a PSI measurement for inflating.

Yeah, I think that's the weight placed on it. But I'll probably use the hand-pump to inflate & not the electronic one anyways, just to be safe.

Have you used the discs very much? Have you ever needed to add air?

 

[adminhelp]

I wouldn't recommend inflating with an electric pump. They inflate too fast and risk blowing the rubber plug right out of the disc itself. Use the hand pump that came with the discs or another similar hand pump. That being said, when you insert the pump you may have to go in at a slight angle until you can feel/hear the air going into the disc. At first it will seem as if nothing is happening and the disc is not changing at all and then all of a sudden you'll start to see a change and from that point it will continue to inflate.

Thanks Jenn. How full do you suggest when 1st starting to use it?

How many inches high are they when they arrive?

No, I've not used them much. Been waiting for the workouts to come out and at that time, I'll decide whether or not I feel like I need to adjust the air. They're definitely challenging, however, as they're currently filled. They feel a bit deceptively squishy, but I think they need to be that way in order to challenge your balance effectively.

I would start with them inflated just as they are straight out of the box and see how they feel to you. If they are not challenging enough add more air so that that instead of a flat top they look like they have a slight curve to the top of the disc. This will add a bit more intensity.

 

[Lannette]

I’ve had my discs for a few years. They’re another brand. I’ve never had to add air. I used a hand pump and the very unscientific method of counting how many full pump strokes I put in disc 1 and then pumping the same amount in disc 2. Mine are softly inflated though rounded on top.

I just wanted to add that I was able to do this bonus with my BOSU and the BOSU pods.

Hmmmm, interesting. I have a set of the pods. I might give 'em a try just to see ...

I used the pods to make all those wrist intensive exercises easier

Yeah, that's what I purchased them for years ago too. I've not, yet, used them for this bonus though. Next time ....
