iJoy Human Touch Board Review

iJoy Human Touch Board: Star rating:  65% Best Price: £345 from John Lewis We had so much fun testing this piece of equipment. As a corrective exercise specialists we're great believers in core and stability work to improve your overall physique. The iJoy Human Touch Board created a brilliant instability for our bodies to have to resist against. Just like the iJoy Twist Ride it moves around all 3 different axis but the benefit with this machine is that you are standing, which in our view is still the best way to work your core muscles. You additionally have the option of 3 different speed settings to 'step up' your workout. We found the intensity between level 1 and level 2 was significantly greater, than between level 2 and 3. Another interesting feature was the random programme whereby the machine moves randomly up and down through the different speed settings. There is also not much stopping you from adding some free weights to your workout to either work your upper body at the same or to increase the workload on your lower body. The only thing that could get in the way is the hand held remote control that you need to start/ stop and programme your iJoy Human Touch Board (we guess you could always stick it into the elastic of your workout pants, lol) We would advise you when standing on the Human Touch Board to always face the control panel and not turn your back onto it, especially when using the Random Programme, as you can then see and prepare for the level of intensity that the machine is changing to. Our view: A truly great piece of stability equipment for the general exerciser. But even better if you are preparing to go skiing, snowboarding, skate boarding or surfing and you don't want to spend most of your time sliding down the mountain on your butt, leaving your skin on the concrete ramp or more swimming in the water than looking cool on your surf board. In skiing, snowboarding, skate boarding or surfing you will consistently need core strength whilst moving around all 3 axis (forward/ backwards, right to left, horizontally up/ down) at ever changing speeds. The iJoy Human Touch Board is an ideal preparation for any of these sports. All in all by training on the iJoy Human Touch Board you will definitely gain much improved core strength and stability that will in turn lead to other benefits like avoiding injury or simply getting into better shape, tone or weight loss.
