Hints from Jeff

The CAB™ Challenge - Don't touch those edges!

CAB Photo #03
Please notice the bent knees.
This position works the knees as well as the ankles.

  • Always keep your front foot flat.

  • Keep your knees bent comfortably.

  • Begin slowly. (Jeff suggests an 8-12 minute workout 2-3 times daily to his patients.)

  • If one ankle is weaker than the other, keep the foot of the weaker ankle forward on the CAB™.

The Ball

  • Start with a #4 or #5 soccer or volley ball.
  • Increase the air pressure in the ball to increase difficulty.
  • Decrease the air pressure in the ball to decrease difficulty.
  • Keep a small, inexpensive pump nearby.
  • Older, softer leather balls or inexpensive vinyl balls work the best.

For Athletes and Advanced Users

I recommend an 8-12 minute workout every other day.

Concentrate on the more difficult positions and special skill maneuvers.

Be creative and use your imagination.

Move the board in different diagonals.

Bend your knees more to challenge the weaker ankle and knee.

Spin and pivot in small increments without touching those edges!

Challenge yourself by increasing the air pressure in the ball.

Balls with rubber shells are most challenging.

DON'T TOUCH THOSE EDGES!

CAB Photo #4
This is a challenging position
and near impossible.

BE CREATIVE AND KEEP IT CHALLENGING

Always keep it a challenge.

Try balancing on the CAB™ while playing catch with a friend or bouncing a basketball on the floor.

For greater challenge do not look at your feet.

Try balancing on the CAB™ with one eye open or both eyes closed.

Lean back against a wall with another ball in the small of your back.

Balance on the CAB™ and try to bend and straighten your knees as if doing a wall squat
