Our patent pending design allows adjustable stability and 360 degrees of rotation with up to 20
degrees of deflection, eliciting the following health and cognitive benefits:
•
Increased metabolism- using a balance board can burn up to twice the calories of a treadmill
at 2 MPH! Harvard Health Publications lists the calories burned in 30 minutes of skateboarding
-- an activity that uses many of the same movements as higher-intensity balance board
activities. A person weighing 125 pounds can expect to burn about 150 calories -- and 300 in an
hour -- while a person weighing 185 pounds can expect to burn about 222 -- 444 in an hour.
•
Improved circulation- the calf pumping action and stabilizers of the lower extremities required
for balance assist the return of blood from legs and feet and minimize numbness.
•
Improved balance- balance can be improved dramatically when challenged. The Desk Surfer™
technology has a twenty year pedigree in improving balance.
•
Improved cognitive function- Although previous reports showed that only rigorous exercise
stimulated Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factors, researchers have more recently found that
even a light exercise routine may be sufficient. These findings indicate that everyone can
enjoy the cognitive benefits of exercise by simply engaging in light activities such as balance
training.
•
Works for everyone!- The adjustable stability of the Desk Surfer™ can be adjusted to
accommodate a wide variety of users from elderly individuals in high heels to millennials in
sneakers!
•
Productivity- Studies have shown that standing while tasking can create more volume and
accurate outcomes than seated- the Desk Surfer™ should enhance productivity and work
experience!

Studies over and over again tell us that “sitting is the new smoking”. Well, standing during periods can help, but to really rev up the
metabolism and maximize standing benefits you need to move!
