Cathe's Balance Disc

[Gobias]

I bought the balance disc and....don't know what to do with it! It doesn't look like Cathe uses it in STS 2.0.

Anyone have a workout using a disc they can share with me, please? Also, how much am I supposed to inflate it? (Lots of air so it is bulbous or a little air so it is flat?)

Add a new challenge to your fitness regimen with the Cathe Balance Disc

his 14-inch anti-burst, inflatable wobble disc can be used for a variety of seated and standing exercises to create balance challenges while improving core strength and body posture

Amazon has a few DVDs for the balance disc!

Are you referring to the Grow One Fitness dvds? Do you have them? Any suggestions? TIA

I did a balance disc workout on YT, from Vive Health I think, about 15 or so min. It was ok…

Thanks! I see they have a bunch of balance-focus workouts. Something to start with.

I note that when Cathe's balance disc came out she said she didn't include it in STS2.0, but hoped to use it "soon". So maybe she has another workout being incubated in her mind.

Has anyone tried using the BOSU workouts with the disc? Seems like that might substitute well.

No, haven’t tried….. I used to have a bosu, but tossed it a long time ago….think I got rid of the workouts too…..they were fun for awhile….but I moved on.

Yeah, I remember hearing or reading that somewhere. Kind of funny she didn't incorporate it somewhere
in all these new workouts. I'm sure she will put it in use "down the road", but I don't think we will see any
thing new for awhile........

The BOSU workouts I do would not work with the balance disc. I jump, stand, hop on the BOSU or flip it over and lift it above my head, or use it in planks. Just isn't the right size, weight or shape. BOSU also has a non slip bottom, whereas the disk is all rubber ball.

Perhaps other BOSU workouts I haven't tried would work. I will just wait until Cathe uses it in the future! I actually prefer using toys, as it seems to make the workouts more fun and go by fast.

I've mostly used a disc like this for rehab, strengthening my abs after a back injury. I don't fully inflate it. I haven't used it for workouts.

I have a BOSU workout that's a core workout that might work...but I don't have the disc so can't say for sure

 

[aqua girl]

I don’t have Cathe’s balance disc….The balance disc I have came with a Firm workout years & years ago…don’t think I even have that workout anymore either….but I kept the
balance disc!

 

[aqua girl]

Now, that I think about it, I had another Gaiam balance disc too........wonder where that is? Maybe it went
with the bosu, Transfirmer, The Wave, my goodness, I have had a mess of "stuff" over the years.

Still got a mess of "stuff" now

I had a pilates ring too.....I've looked & looked for it recently cause I found some workouts on YouTube...
but I can't find it, I refuse to buy another one cause the one I had was a nice one Oh well!

Oh, I have a Step 360 and that's kind of a balance thing too....I still have that and how about sllideboards?
Anybody ever use those? I used to love Slide board workouts.

I remember looking at slideboards.... I think Gin Miller promoted them, maybe around a Winter Olympics? Never got one tho...

 

[aqua girl]

I'm not sure I still have one ...maybe, but I did have the Reebok slide and then before that, another one....

I have a slide board I haven't used it in ages. I also have 2 Pilates rings; one is a cheap version that doesn't have much tension and I'm afraid I will break it if I squeeze it too hard. Then I bought a more expensive one with good, heavy tension.
