does this balance board work like a twister exercise

Twisting is one of many exercises you can do. You can also do lunges, squats, yoga poses, push ups, and any exercises to tone your core.

It might with some modification. There's a tab on the end of the Balance Buddy towards the axle end that's there so the Balance Buddy doesn't rotate past a certain point. That and the width of your axle may be a problem for using both training wheels and this.

I have used it as an inversion to relieve and stretch back. somewhat hard to adjust for proper balance

Yes, definitely. The board is extremely stable so balance should not be an issue. You may want to consider additional grip for the front of the board. I believe the Tower website has a "dog pad" for this.

No question. It has a lot of flexibility. I would expect no issues with that exercise.

You could probably set it up to do some ab work but I haven't tried any exercises like that. It's not really designed for that. By design,the device balances your body on it and if you were to lift your upper body all the way up, it might cause you to rotate back upright unless you adjust the settings so you are not balanced.

yes it is. I thought it would flip over but it does not so I have not gotten much use out of it.

I cannot answe the question. I bought mine for therapy to help work on my balance.

This might work. I does challenge your balance some on two feet, but I find the challenge to be primarily with one foot. I would think a BOSU ball would most closely mimic a board.

Not really its actually more of a sliding board. Easy to move gets you ready for better boards.

It doesn't flip back and forth once constructed. You might be able to put the piece on "backwards" when building it. I actually bought another dry erase board and pasted it on the back.

yes. you can invert 180 and lock in position. your exercises wont take you out of the perimeter of the footprint of the unit. it is stable. Mike Hart, satisfied customer.

It doesn't but I have done a few crunches on it without it flipping back up. There is also a safety strap that it comes with that could probably be rigged to lock it in full inversion. It's plenty stable for exercise too. But you would have to "rig" it.

I find it works best when I twist and push down at the same time. I hope this helps.

The handlebar's are secured by 2 bolts so they don't twist. They do move just slightly but it not a problem during the workout. Very stable and secure.

No, it doesn't spin or rotate, you have to do that with your hand motions but I have found that is better for me, spin ones sometimes get caught and pull my hair, again that is just me, I have pretty long hair.

My back ground in martial arts makes me think the twisting motion is similar to a reverse power punch. I personally use it more for a stabilizing, core workout at the end of my routine. I don't try to twist or turn them thus trying to control them helps stimulate more muscle groups maybe.
