GOT THIS FOR MY CHEERLEADING DAUGHTERAugust 10, 2005 Peggy Dwyer(Warren, MI USA) 46 out of 52 found this review helpful
I ordered this on a recommendation from my daughter's cheer coach - she became a "flyer" where you need to control your balance while being lifted in the air. This little cushion forces you to balance and has helped her a lot. She really likes it. This would be a good tool for someone that needs to strengthen their balance for gymnastics, cheer, or other sports that require steadiness.
Alternative use....stop squirming little one!December 16, 2008 Rebecca M. Eddy(Simpsonville, SC) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
My foster son has several behavioral and cognative limitations that causes him to squirm and move about in his seat. Suppertime was especially difficult. An in-school physical therapist provided a similar product for classroom use to encourage proper sitting during instruction. We researched the PT supplied cushion and found it to be well over $50 retail. This balance cushion is constructed from durable material and provides the perfect amount of stimulation. Each side of the cushion provides different stimulation allowing for changes due to the child's needs. We use the cushion during meals and anytime prolonged sitting is expected. The difference is AMAZING! Meals are no longer a constant battle. Our son noticed the difference immediately and often asks to take the cushion on short road trips.
Doing the Trick for my Pelvis!January 9, 2007 Judith A. Toomey 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased the core balance trainer to allow my SI joints to have movement while sitting since I suffer from a deviated sacrum. When my sacrum is in pain, I sit on the disc and it allows my body to have movement from hip to hip and I don't have to just squeeze my buttocks and abdomen constantly. I sit on it when I drive but it does elevate me, whereas, my head is very close to the roof of the car and the rear view mirror really isn't at a good place but it does allow movement when my pelvis needs to release and have movement.

I am a stroke survivor, and this is the same device that my Physical Therapist uses. It does a good job in helping me with my exercises.
An excellent and inexpensive tool for core strengthening and balanceMay 3, 2008 Mirela Tripa 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Fit Disc can be used for balance and core strengthening (abdominal and lower back) exercises. Enhances the posture as well.
I find the balance discs a great portable tool to help with a workout.
Some exercises that can be done using the Fit Disc:
-Standing single leg balance, core balance sit
-Sitting on the disc to do crunches and other ab exercises
-Standing on the disc while using dumbbells for arm strengthening
-Standing on the disc while doing squats
-Use the disc while doing lunges, step ups, push ups, planks
