As a lifetime fitness enthusiast, martial arts practitioner and yoga teacher, Tony knows a lot about exercise and movement. He initially designed the Freeform board in order to facilitate the performance of a particular yoga movement. Once he had built his first prototype, Tony realised that the product allowed for unrestricted movement in any direction.
Freeform Board is a novel exercise device that exercises the entire network of muscles including deep postural muscles. It would best suit athletes wanting to develop strength AND control, e.g. gymnasts and divers. Freeform provides more realistic conditioning due to omnidirectional movement. Movement is continuous from one position to another.
With Freeform you don’t need to stick to the same repetitive boring old drill, you can just make it up as you go along. With a Freeform Board your exercise can become a kind of artistic dance routine. Using a Freeform board improves your balance.A primary benefit of exercising with a Freeform board as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the board to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles to do so. Those muscles become stronger over time to keep balance.
Using a Freeform Board as part of a fitness program can include a wide range of difficulty levels that help firm up the trunk muscles in the body.
Examples of uses of the Freeform board include:
* Developing overall control and strength of the core body muscles
* Increasing lower back mobility
* Increasing abdominal and back muscle strength
* Improving balance and stability
* Improving proprioception
* Learning proper body mechanics and posture while lifting objects
