Key Features |
| The board primarily functions as a balance trainer, step trainer or anchor for the exercise tubing. In balance mode the user can perform lateral and toe/heel balance exercises. In step mode the board pillars are easily slipped in place to create a stable step platform. Locking exercise tubing with handles is secured into the board to perform a variety of strengthening and toning exercises. A lightweight hand ball is also included in the system. This ball is used for the agility and reaction exercises presented in the video. The elastic band allows the user to perform leg extension, glute kickback plus inner and outer thigh exercises while balancing on the board. A highly appealing attribute of the board is that it is easy to use so beginners will feel safe and comfortable right away. Advanced users will certainly be challenged by many of the single leg balance and strength exercises covered in the video. The exervo™ instructional program is not just balancing on a board. It's combining balance, action and forces to achieve functional improvement and results.
The problem with some balance products is that they're so hard to balance on the user becomes frustrated, tense and fears falling. Relaxing is a key ingredient to performing any physical skill and achieving consistent results. Improving balance is about increasing neuromuscular awareness to react and adapt to slightly unstable surfaces in order to re-establish balance equilibrium. The exervo™ elastomer balance core offers just enough instability while performing each exercise. The user will learn to re-gain balance equilibrium and progress through the exercises. The Exervo™ Board program is designed to reach the broadest range of user abilities and ages.

| There are two basic operating modes to the Exervo™ Board- balance mode and step mode. In balance mode the pillars that are in place for step mode are removed. The board now pivits laterally plus fore and aft on a center elastomer core. This rubber core is designed to offer moderate balance challenge in multiple directions for both two footed and single foot exercises. While in balance mode the board can be combined with other accessories like the handball, elastic foot band and exercise tubing to achieve a number of balance, agility and strength exercises for fitness and therapy modalities.
In step mode, the deck support pillars are secured in place between the deck and the base of the board. The exervo™ Board now becomes a stable platform for step training types of cardiovascular and strengthening exercises. that have been developed over the past twenty years since the introduction of the step trainer.
The ability to convert from balance to step mode combined with the exercise possibilities using the various accessories makes the Exervo™ Board System the most versatile exercise trainer in this category.
