Balance and foot strength
Steadier on your feet, from the ground up.
Balance starts in your feet. The small muscles in your feet and ankles make constant tiny corrections every time you stand, walk or turn, and like any muscle, they weaken when they go unused. The B2R Training System gives you guided exercises on a slant wobble board, with balance poles to hold, so you can train them at home.
Guided balance and foot strength training at home.

Why balance starts with your feet
Stay strong, stay steady
Falls are common after 65
About 1 in 4 adults age 65 and older reports a fall every year, and falls are the leading cause of injury in that age group, according to the CDC. The CDC's advice includes doing exercises that make your legs stronger and improve your balance.
Strong toes, steadier steps
In a study of 312 adults aged 60 to 90, the people who fell during the following year had weaker toe muscles than those who didn't, especially in the big toe (Mickle et al., 2009). B2R is designed to train the muscles of the feet and ankles, the base you balance on.

Hold on while you build up
Level 1 includes balance poles, so you have support while you learn each movement on the B2R Slant Wobble Board. The video shows every exercise step by step. Start gently and build up as you get steadier.

Reviews
Stronger from the ground up
[B2R] aims to strengthen the entire foot, which as yogis and martial artists know, strengthens the entire body. After runs on the Mesa Trail and working with [B2R's] DVD and strengthening platform, I'm sold.
I feel more rooted. I feel stronger from the ground up.
Runner's Magazine
A comprehensive program for developing strength, flexibility, balance, and associated traits to complement or prepare [one] for natural running.
The results, particularly in the area of stability, were incredible. It's a great supplementary program that I'll be using for a long time.
The Slant Board is very solid and built in such a way that it is much more challenging to balance on than it looks.

Common questions
Is this safe for me?
Level 1 includes balance poles, so you can hold on while you train. Everyone's health is different, so check with your doctor or physical therapist before starting any new balance program, especially if you've fallen before, feel dizzy, or have a condition that affects your balance.
Will this prevent falls?
We can't promise that. B2R is a strength and balance training program, not a medical device or treatment. It's one way to keep the muscles in your feet and ankles working.
Do I need to be a runner?
No. Runners use B2R to support their form, but the Level 1 exercises are about strength and balance, and they work for anyone.
How do I get the training videos?
Your training videos are online. After checkout we email you a link to watch or download them, so you can start the day your equipment arrives.
What if it isn't for me?
Send it back within 30 days of delivery, in like-new condition with all its parts, for a full refund. You don't need the original packaging. Email us to start a return. We send a prepaid return label for US orders. Outside the US, you cover return shipping.
