Indo Board Balance Trainer, $119.95 and up
Regularly advertised in surf magazines, the Indo Board -- a 30-inch-long, oval-shaped board (the "deck") atop a 6-inch cylinder (the "roller") and cushion -- seemingly has a decent following, and comes in a variety of colors and prints. The goal is to balance on the board for as long as possible without any part of it touching the ground, an activity geared to improve your balance and work your core by essentially mimicking surfing. Reviewers call it "so much fun" and "an effective trainer for any aggressive athlete," but it's also "not for the balance challenged" and worthy of its "use at your own risk" disclaimer. (So you may get a few bruises and sprains versus a beating by the ocean? Seems fair.)SEE NEXT PAGE: Shake Weight, $19.95
