1. Plank

1: Place the wooden balance board on a stable surface and get down on all fours with your forearms on the board.

2: Ensure that your elbows are directly under your shoulders.

3: Straighten your legs out behind you and balance on your toes, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.

4: Brace your core muscles, squeeze your glutes, and lift your body up into an elbow plank position.

5: Keep your spine in a neutral position, avoid arching your back, and keep your hips level.

6: Hold this position for as long as you can, aiming for at least 30 seconds, then up the ante to a minute as you progress.

2. Glute Bridge

1: Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet placed firmly on a balance board.

2: Engage your glutes and core muscles and lift your hips up off the ground, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.

3: Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly lower your hips back down to the ground.

4: Repeat the movement for several reps, focusing on maintaining your balance on the board as you lift and lower your hips.

3. Lunge

1: Place the balance board on a flat surface and step onto it with one foot. Stretch your other leg out behind you, keeping the ball of your foot on the floor.

2: As you maintain your balance on the board, lower your body into a lunge position. Your front knee should be bent at a 90-degree angle, while your back knee should be hovering just above the ground.

3: As you lower your body, make sure to maintain your balance on the board by engaging your core and keeping your weight centred over the middle.

4: Hold the lunge position for a few seconds, and then push yourself back up to the starting position.

5: Repeat the exercise for several reps, then switch legs and repeat for an equal number of reps.

4. Incline Push Ups

2: Your hands should be shoulder width apart and your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.

3: Lower your chest towards the board, bending your elbows and keeping your body straight.

4: Push yourself back up to the starting position, extending your elbows and keeping your body straight.

2: Slowly raise your buttocks off the ground, extending your elbows and keeping your body straight.

2: Lower your body back to the starting position by bending your elbows, keeping your back close to the board.

4: Repeat for the desired number of reps.

6. Straight Arm Roll

1: Place the balance board on a flat surface and assume a plank position with your hands on the board and your feet on the ground.

2: Keep your arms straight and your core engaged as you slowly begin to roll the board side to side, maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels.

3: Repeat the exercise for several reps, maintaining control and balance throughout the movement.

7. Side to Side

1: Place the balance board on a flat surface and step onto it with both feet, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart and your weight evenly distributed.

2: Shift your weight to one side of the board, lifting the opposite edge off the ground and bringing it towards your other foot.

4: Continue shifting your weight from side to side, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion.

4: Lower your chest towards the ground, bending your elbows and keeping your body straight.

5: Push yourself back up to the starting position, extending your elbows and keeping your body straight.
