      Every level adds a little more motion. Your balance, confidence and history decide where you start, not your age.

      LEVEL 1 Level 1, the Foundation Deck with no center piece Level 2, the SoftStart Cushion under the deck Level 3, the green MagLock3 ball under the deck Level 4, the hard black Whirly ball Level 5, the cork Roller under the deck
      LEVEL 1

      The Foundation

      The deck on its own, closest to the floor. Gentle rocking on the end balls, weight shifts, foot placement and "walking" the board across the room.

      • Challenge
      • Best surfaceAny floor; spins on carpet or a mat

      • Favorite oftoddlers, PT and agility footwork
      LEVEL 2

      The SoftStart Cushion

      Low, soft and adjustable. Let air out for a gentler wobble, add air for a firmer challenge, so this one level grows with you.

      LEVEL 3

      The Green MagLock3™ Ball

      Four magnets lock it to the deck. Tilt every direction and spin 360°, on a grippier, more forgiving ball than our original.

      • Challenge
      • Best surfaceAny floor
      • Rider weightUp to 350 lb on this level
      • Favorite offirst-time 360° riders
      LEVEL 4

      The Black Whirly Ball

      Fits snugly over the green ball. A harder shell means faster reactions, quicker spins and end-ball tricks. The move when Level 3 starts to feel easy.

      Level 3.5: the Stabilizer Ring. Set the black ball in the ring for training wheels, the step between the green ball and the black ball.

      • Challenge

      The Roller

      Solid cork, side to side. A completely different, surf-style challenge for surfers, board-sport riders and anyone who's mastered the ball.

      Worth adding

      Two things
      for floor work.

      Neither is required. Both make push-ups, planks and lunges on the deck easier to control.

      Stabilizer RingStops the slide

      Stabilizer Ring

      $19.99

      Keeps the board from sliding out from under you mid-lunge or mid-push-up. On the Whirly Complete it stores inside the green ball.

      Shred Session Mat

      $79.95

      Grip for the board, cushion for your knees and hands, and a quieter floor. Use it on hard floors, not on top of carpet.

      Using the board while exercising makes everything harder, really works your core.
      ★★★★★Ken A.Desk Rider owner
      Excellent balance board. Works lots of muscles. Unlike the balance boards on rollers, with this one you also need to balance forward and back, working additional muscles.
      ★★★★★DAVID L.Sport 360° owner
      This board is more difficult and I would definitely recommend holding on to something when you start. So far, though, I am very pleased. The workout is low-impact but still very effective, and the portable small size takes up very little room.
      ★★★★★Rebekah S.Desk Rider owner
      In the year 2020 I didn't get out as much as I used to and my leg muscles were starting to atrophy. I was looking for a balance board to help bring back some strength when I found Whirly Board. I like it better than the other balance boards I've seen.
      ★★★★★James M.Sport 360° owner
      Even though I've never done board sports, I enjoy playing around on it while watching tv and I can feel it working my stabilizer muscles.
      ★★★★★Victoria H.Sport 360° owner
      Challenging! Improves all board sports. I'd definitely recommend this be added in your daily exercise routines!

      Which Whirly Board is best for workouts?

      Whirly Complete if you want workouts that keep getting harder. You start on the soft cushion and swap to the green ball, the black ball and the Roller as you get stronger, and the foam top is soft under hands and bare feet.

      Sport 360° if you train for a sport and want quick, agile footwork. For planks and push-ups, pick the cork top or lay a towel over grip tape.

      Take the board finder →

      I've never used a balance board. Where do I start?

      Start with the beginner version of every move and keep a wall or counter within reach. The 30-day plan above starts there for you and only moves to advanced versions in week 4.

      Every board also comes with a free live Getting Started class with Joanna or Erik.

      Can I use weights on it?

      Yes, once the bodyweight version feels steady. Add light dumbbells to moves like squats, lunges and the shoulder press, and go lighter than you would on the floor. Count the weights toward the board's weight rating: 400 lb on the Whirly Complete (350 lb on the green ball) and 350 lb on the Sport 360°.

      Do I need a mat?

      For light balancing on the Whirly Complete's Foundation level, a clean, dry hard floor is fine. For spins, pivots on the end balls, the black ball and the Roller, use thin carpet or a Whirly rubber mat. Never put a rubber mat on top of carpet.

      Shop Whirly mats →

      How long are the workouts?

      About 15 minutes: three moves and a cool-down stretch, three days a week. On the days between, a 2-minute Balance Snack keeps you on the board without wearing you out.

      Is the 30-day plan free?

      Yes. Build it, shuffle it and print it on this page with no account. Email delivery is optional.

      What is the Stabilizer Ring for?

      It keeps the board from sliding out during lunges and push-ups. On the Whirly Complete it also makes the black ball a little steadier, and it stores inside the green ball. The Full Progression set includes one.

      Shop the Stabilizer Ring →

      What if it's not for me?

      Ride it for 30 days, plus a week to start a return. Every board has a lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship, and shipping is free over $99 to the Lower 48.
