A NOTE BEFORE USING
The standing surface on this motion board is flat. Wear shoes with a flat sole, like sneakers, walking shoes, etc. This board is NOT for use with high heels or socks. For sock or barefoot use, we recommend adding the ACC038-9MM Comfort Mat accessory.
Step 1
Set the board on a firm, flat surface. We highly recommend using a small, tightly woven rug with a rubber backing if using this board on a hardwood floor or another hard surface flooring to protect the board & your floor, and to prevent slipping.
Warning: Hold on to a desk or a stable object as you step onto the board for the first time. Placing one foot on one side of the board will cause the other side of the board to rise. This is normal. To use, carefully step onto one side, and after confirming your stability, place your other foot onto the other side of the board. Keep your feet parallel, facing forward, and firmly on the board, evenly distributing your feet on the outer edges until you find your balance.
Give your body a few minutes to get used to the balancing motion of the Bamboo Motion-X Board. Keep your hands on something stable as you move. Do not attempt any swift or sudden movements until you find the points of balance on the board.
Step 2
Use this board to add more movement to your workday. At your desk, we recommend trying these energizing moves:
Rock
Move side to side by pushing down on one side, or by using a similar motion to that of walking up a set of stairs. Right side down, left side up. Then left side down, right side up. Doing these motions in conjuction allow you to rock.
Tilt
To try this move, push forward on the board with the ball of your foot and your toes, and then push back with your heels. Use the strength from your ankles and calves to push forward and backward to do the tilt. Now you’re moving!
Swivel
Once you’re balanced on the board, you’ll be able to swivel your hips and move your legs from side to side. Note: This is an advanced move. The board can move swiftly when you swivel with enough force. Hold on to a stable surface when practicing the swivel.
