After a sedentary year

I can only say whoa. Some have a hard time riding at any age but to hear of someone overcoming what you did and find something to keep pushing the boundaries is an inspiration. Thumbs up to you

Its great to see everyone working hard. I too feel bla lately . Turned 41 and with work, wife and kids its really hard to stay around 175 lbs currently at 190 lost 5 over last few weeks but man I want to eat everything I see but cant I'm on a diet. Miss my IPA's.... Its now warmer outside so I swim a lot more and that sheds the pounds.
For those who really want to improve your balance and get a good leg and core work out look into an INDO BOARD. www.indoboard.com I love it had it for about 10 years and I use it all the time. Helps me out for surfing, snowboarding and riding. my Kids love it too. IMO balance is a huge part of any sport. I do suggest using it on carpet first with the roller or you can end up on your ass real quick. simulates surfing so for those who surf I'm sure you have seen them.

I've got an inner ear issue so I've been doing remedial balance work (just standing on one leg). The indo board looks neat but looks like it might be a bit much at my low level.

Indo boards are great for balance and leg workout. If youre handy you can make them yourself. I've done them outta plywood( cut to desired size) and thick piece of pvc. Can get different sizes and work way up at your comfort level

Yea they can take time to learn using the roller but get the one that has the Board, Roller and the Rubber disk thing. Start with that first until your ready for the roller. It keeps you only a few inches of ground but is great for learning. there are also so many other exercises as well. love using it to do push ups, makes you really use your core. YouTube it and you we find all kinds of uses.

I am somewhat handy but mostly cheap.
Any info on appx size and shape? And what size PVC?
Would a partially deflated basketball or volleyball work in place of the rubber disc thingy?
