Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

...or balance discs, whatever they're called. Look quite fun, but what do they actually do other than train your sense of balance?

eng_ch, core strength. Key for balance management while skiing.

As in strength around stomach and back, between the bottom of the rib cage and the hips? Interestingly I just started Pilates and, granted it's just basic level, but I'm finding it a piece of cake because I play the saxophone.

The inflatable ones seem to work best for me. Hits core strength as in swiss ball exercises but also good for building ankle and knee stability. Do squats on htem, throw in turning motions, and watch the downhill skiing in front of the tv in a racing crouch and bounce gently - see how long you can keep the position.

I do squats with weights on a pair of inflatable wobble discs, and use a balance board as well.

eng_ch, to be fair, they don't do anything more than train your sence of balance.

But that in itself requires a bit of defining:

Working on a wobble board means that your core muscles (abs, back, hips) are constantly "over working" in order to maintain balance and hence good form. Possibly other muscles radiating from the core muscles will end up working either because a) you've deliberately intended it, or b) because you're not using good form/are working outside your limits.

When you overtax a muscle and then let it rest, it will rebuild itself and cause an adaptation in the muscles to occur to cope with the increase in work. It's the adaptation that is the end result you're looking for i.e. the improvement in strength and endurance. Just don't forget to stretch out the muscle so that you retain flexiblity.

To this extent, a wobble board doesn't "do anything more" than it already heroically does.

Does that make sence?
