Mother’s Day It being Mother’s Day and all, Robert and I teamed up to get one for Sarah. She was up in NJ this weekend but came him in plenty of time to unwrap her presents and set this up for a trial run. 
I think it was all it was expected to be: a great way to work on your balance and lots of fun while working some muscles you might not expect it to — it’s hard not falling off, even with help. We started with human assistance and “graduated?” to just using a stick for assistance.
It really is fun and gives you much more of an understanding of what the high wire walkers at the circus are doing. 
At three inches wide and flat, you’d think it wouldn’t be that hard to balance on… But you’d be wrong. It’s springy and swings and sways and is really hard to stay on without help.
We’ll see if any of us can get more than a step without a crutch in a couple weeks… (And no, I don’t mean that kind of crutch — we’ll keep it low to the ground. |
