"Your Pro Fitter Cross Trainer has been tremendous in helping my 9-year-old daughter with her BMX (bicycle moto cross) racing. Ashley isn't as fast as some other girls, but training in the gym and working out with your Pro Fitter Cross Trainer (while lifting light weights) and using your Balance Boards, and Bongo Board has given her an edge they don't have.

Squats On A Bongo Board:
First perfect a squat on solid ground. Place your feet slightly wider that your hips, toes pointing ahead. Lower your hips as though sitting in a chair, keeping your weight centered over the arch and heel of your feet, your head upright, and eyes focused straight ahead. Then, if you've never been on a Bongo Board, get comfortable with it. Use it on a carpeted area and have someone "spot" you while you try a few squats (the spotter's hands should be close to your waist). As you get more confident, change foot positions to simulate skiing and snowboarding stances.
Focus:
While squats alone will strengthen your thigh-to-knee connection, adding the Bongo Board trains your entire body for stabilization and balance.
