    Hi,

    Read an article lately, not sure weather it was in a magazine, newspaper or online (bad memory) but it was about a new type of gym/excersise equipment which is for agility and strength moving off in different directions for leg muscles.


    Pictures of it showed it to be (this is a a vague discription) made up of a round plate attached to bars which extend up with handles attached, i assume you stand on it one leg at a time.

    Anyhow from what i remember it was called stand firm or something similar but no amount of google searches can find it.

    plus from the articale it says its now being used by some NBA teams in america and other sports teams,

    any help would be great this is driving me crazy,

    thanks

    While I don't know anything about this piece of gym equipment, I'd bet my life that Owen Hargreaves uses it.....

    Sounds like it might be a balance board of the wobble board style (disc balanced on a central hemisphere).

    Some balance boards are round, some aren't. Some have resistance tubes (with handles) attached, some don't. Some have the feet on separate small platforms simultaneously, some have them on a single larger platform.
