How does the Core Master work - what are the benefits?

The Core Master is a circular balance board with a centrally located ball. As the name suggests, it assists with your core muscles.

The challenge is to simply stay on the board as it rolls and tilts and with more than 100 exercises available it’s super versatile. Who said a date at the gym had to be dull?

With the Core Master you can plank, roll, tilt and rotate to your heart’s content. The best part? The instability of the balance board ensures that your core muscles are consistently engaged.

If you’re a beginner, you can start with a half-plank while you get used to the board and strengthen your muscles. Once comfortable you can work your way up to a full plank and feel the benefits on your body. More specifically it targets your outer, inner and deeper core muscles, but it’s also a fantastic cardiovascular and fat burning exercise.

Of course you can work on your core muscles without any equipment, but the Core Master works your core more intensely.

Is it comfortable?

You might be wondering if the board is comfortable enough to support you through a regular planking session in your home gym? Well you’ll be pleased to know the Core Master designers added soft EVA foam arms pads to ensure you’re able to plank with comfort.

You can even control the height of your planks with screw-in detachable handles for low plank exercises and handle storage for high plank exercises.

For convenience, there is also a carry handle.

If you’re thinking of investing in the Core Master for your home gym but don’t know where to start, their website is full of how-to instructions and training ideas. You could also contact your personal trainer for a beginner’s crash course in how to get the most from your balance board.

What did the press have to say about the Core Master?

The Core Master has even featured in several newspapers and magazines as a must-have piece of kit for your home gym.

Women’s Running magazine reported that it’s ‘a fun, challenging and effective training companion’ while The Sunday Times Style magazine hailed it as the perfect kit to upgrade your abs workout at home.
