So you mastered the basics of standing on your balance board, and you are thinking now what.

Starting to learn tricks or using your board for exercising is a good way to keep you from losing interest in using your board by allowing you to continue to challenge yourself after you have mastered the basics of standing on the board and rocking back and forth.

 Unfortunately, it is hard to find much instructions on how to progress on balance boards and the learn different types of tricks and exercises you can do on them, so I found the best videos I could that will show you various tricks and exercises you can do with your balance board.

I have broken the videos i have found into the following categories,

Balance board tricks

Vew-do board tricks

Balance board exercises

This clip of advanced tricks is incredibly impressive, and I really like the idea of jumping rope on a balance board I don't think I will ever be able to do a backflip on a balance board.

This video has some more trick ideas.

Wow  i did not know how popular balance boards are in Costa Rica, this playlist of 41 videos(in Spanish) will definitely give you some ideas.

Vew-do Board tricks

I put vew-do boards into their own category because their unique design allows you to do types of tricks that you can not do with a traditional balance board compared to traditional balance boards.
 
Vew-do boards enable you to do ollies, flipping tricks spins and rotations and can simulate the carving feeling done in board sports this is why Vew-do boards are the best choices for skateboarders and snowboarders.

Vew-do boardshave a steeper learning curve than boards that use rollers, to learn more about these board check out my Vew-Do board guide.

Balance board exercises

Balance board exercises are generally bodyweight exercises, but I have seen some videos of people using free weights and kettlebells while on a balance board.
 
I think using heavy free weights or kettlebells on a balance board with a roller is too dangerous if you take a fall you can end up having the weight land on you additionally having your hands occupied will make it harder to fall correctly.
 
A safer way of combining balance and strength training on your balance board is to use a with a stability pad instead of a roller with your balance board.

A stability pad or balance cushion will allow you to control how challenging you want the exercise to be by varying how much air you put in the pad.
 
For addition exercises to practice on your balance board with a stability pad, check out my guides for arm balance exercises and standing balance exercises. The guides will give you over 50 additional exercises you can do on your balance board.
 

I will continue to update this guide from time to time,
