Abstract
An exercise board for accommodating the foot or feet of a balancing user during exercise movement has an elongated flat platform with opposite, typically upturned ends, similar to a skateboard. The board defines an upper facing side dimensioned to receive the foot or feet of the balancing user and a lower facing side. Resilient rocker-mounting ends are mounted to the lower facing side at either end of the elongated flat platform. Each resilient rocker-mounting end includes a rigid floor contacting rocker section and an elastic column. The floor contacting rocker section has a rounded floor-contacting surface. The elastic column is mounted to the elongated flat platform at the upper end, mounted to the floor contacting rocker at the lower end, and bendable both longitudinally and in torque responsive to shifting weight of a balancing user on the upper facing side of the elongate platform.
