Benefits of Boarding
The benefits of snow boarding, skiing or surfing include improving your body’s core strength; this means more than just having a ‘six-pack’ for abs. The core, which consists of the abdominals, is like the cables of a bridge – it must be strong to give the body stability and good posture, helping to protect the spine and lower back to reduce injuries and wear and tear on the joints.
Boarding helps to condition sensors in the body called proprioceptors which help keep you injury free. If you have ever started to turn your ankle over and it has automatically righted itself, these are the proprioceptors working automatically.

What is Core Stability?
Nearly every movement in your body involves and originates from the core muscles; they are your centre of gravity. Well trained core muscles, abdominal, back and pelvis, provide support to your spine for everything from walking, lifting, standing or sitting. Unfortunately these muscles are rarely exercised sufficiently.
The good news is your core muscles don’t need to be very strong but they do need to be toned and conditioned continuously every day. The ‘human touch board’ is cleverly pre-programmed to offer you an effective routine to condition your core muscle groups without having to risk shark attacks, sunstroke, broken limbs or scraped shins!
