%%Fluidstance Balance Board.%% Avoid going rigid when using a standing desk.

Balance board with a flat top and curved base

The Pros

  • Gentle motion reduces leg strain and rigidity when using standing desks.
  • The challenge of keeping yourself balanced can give you a little stimulus/dopamine boost.
  • If done routinely, there is evidence to show that balance exercises can strengthen your amygdala, which in turn helps with mood regulation.

The Cons

  • As with most things designed for a niche market, it’s not cheap. That being said, none of the other ones I’ve researched came close to the build quality and comfort.
  • Unless you pay extra for the storage rack, it’s hard to find a home for it, meaning it can easily be a tripping hazard.

Essa's Tips

  • Place it somewhere it's clearly visible as if you can't see it, you'll 100% forget it exists.
  • What I do is use it at as a footrest when sitting down, but pull it out when I’ve switched to standing mode.
