Balance training aids are disclosed. Example embodiments disclose a user placing all or part of their body weight on a top surface of a platform that is sitting atop an unstable base member and attempts to balance or complete a balance challenge. In example embodiments, the user places at least a portion of one foot atop the platform during the balance challenge. Adjustability features can be provided so as to provide a varying degree of adjustability to the unstable base member, and thus, provide a varying degree of balance challenges or levels of difficulty.
1 . A balance device comprising a lower base component and an upper standing platform configured for placement atop the lower base component, the lower base comprising an unstable or deformable material and the platform comprising a generally rigid material, the lower base component comprising one or more adjustability features comprising reinsertable plugs that are initially integrally formed with the lower base component and disengagable therefrom by user operation, and reinsertable within the openings defined by the removal of the plugs so as to provide adjustment to the unstableness of the lower base component when a user is applying their weight by applying at least a portion of their foot with the platform.
