The Bob

“The Bob” (named for the bobbing motion of the feet when placed on it) helps stretch out the leg and calf muscles and work the ankles high and low, developing improved balance, flexibility, strength, vertical jumping ability, and speed.

Regular use of The Bob for as little as three minutes per day can help promote a full range of motion and reduce the risk of common leg injuries, including the dreaded shin splint.

This angled foot platform is portable and durable, and can be adopted by athletes of any age and experience level, always utilizing the user’s own body weight and working within their natural ability.

How to Use The Bob:
Standing straight up, gently rock your toes forward, then rock back to your heels, repeating the bobbing motion from heel to toe. Proper foot placement is very important to maintain your center of gravity; hold on to a wall or counter if needed. You will make a more difficult exercise while gradually placing your feet back further until your toes are on the edge of The Bob. Reverse The Bob repeating the same, but moving your feet forward until your heel is at the edge; this will benefit your achilles tendon and tibialis muscle. This is the simplest calf builder and strengthener.

The Bob is quick and fun to use and can be incorporated into anyone's everyday exercise regimen.
