5 Reasons Balance Training Will Redefine the Way You Work Out

Balance is more than staying steady. It is the foundation of stronger movement, sharper coordination, and better overall performance. Physiotherapist Marvin Kühn (DOSB) explains it simply:
“On the SLACKBOARD, the body naturally finds better alignment. That changes the way people train.”

Here’s why balance training deserves a place in your routine.

1. A Stronger, Smarter Core

Your core works every time you shift or stabilize. The SLACKBOARD activates your abs, back, and pelvis automatically, helping your body find efficient alignment without extra exercises.
The result is real strength you feel in your posture and your daily movements.

2. Better Coordination and Body Awareness

Every micro-adjustment on the SLACKBOARD trains your brain and muscles to communicate faster. You react earlier, move smoother, and feel more connected to how your body works. This awareness carries into walking, lifting, and every workout you do.

3. More Muscle Activation in Every Exercise

Even simple moves like squats or lunges become full-body training. The shifting surface keeps stabilizing muscles active the entire time, turning familiar exercises into more effective versions of themselves.

4. Healthier Joints and Fewer Injuries

Strong stabilizers protect your knees, hips, and ankles. The SLACKBOARD helps you build that deep support system. Over time, your joints move with better alignment and your risk of common training injuries decreases.

5. Sharper Focus and Mental Strength

Sport therapist Frederik Marx describes it as “mindfulness through movement.”
On the SLACKBOARD, your mind becomes focused and alert. You learn to stay calm under challenge — a skill that supports you in training and in everyday life.
