Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just use any bouncy ball?
You won't get the same results...
The Sturdey was designed for seniors, by me, a kinesiologist who has helped 100s of seniors in their homes.
It has the perfect bouncibility and unpredictability for seniors like you and includes video-guided exercises... for all ability levels.
How will this help me avoid falls?
By challenging your balance...
The guided exercises I give you intentionally challenge your balance and hand eye coordination, making you sturdier and sharper!
You'll be shifting your weight, reaching and catching, and moving your body in new ways. Best part is... I'm always inventing new drills!
Is this actually worth it?
Is your mobility worth 4 coffees?
It's a no brainer... Falling can have serious consequences. You can spend thousands of dollars at the hospital and your mobility level may never be the same... It just isn't worth the risk.
Read the reviews to see how many seniors are happy with the investment!
Will this work for me and my mobility level?
There are drills for all levels.
I’ve put together specific exercises for seniors in walkers and wheelchairs, AND seniors who are active and mobile. You control the difficulty. You can choose easier exercises or harder ones.
If your mobility is limited, you will benefit the most from the Sturdey!
If I already exercise, is it still useful?
Yes! I have challenging exercises for you!
The Sturdey is unique because it trains your brain and balance. Others forms of exercise do not train coordination and stability like the Sturdey does.
How much space do I need to use it?
Hardly any space!
You don't need a big room or a basketball court to do them! You can play with the Sturdey in your kitchen or living room.
What are the benefits to me?
Your Brain & Balance will improve!
1. Fun — When I bring my Sturdeys to retirement homes, seniors tell me they're having fun!
2. Brain training — It bounces in unpredictable ways, challenging your hand-eye coordination.
3. Balance training — The ball makes you move and shift your weight in unexpected ways, challenging your balance.
Am I too young or too old?
The Sturdey is for all abilities.
There are exercises and drills for advanced and beginner abilities. Even if you cannot move much, you can still train with the Sturdey.
Does it come with exercises?
YES!
I made a video that goes over a bunch of exercises to try out. It's included with your purchase.
Is it safe for seniors who use walkers?
Yes! All ability levels!
If you are able to reach and grasp, you are safe to play with the Sturdey! There are also different exercises for different abilities.
It's just important that you set up your training zone appropriately. If you do lose balance, make sure you have something to hold on to.
What should I do with it?
Alone or with a partner!
There are various drills and exercises you can do. When you purchase a Sturdey, you'll receive five suggested ways to train. The best part is- there are no rules!
How does a reaction ball work?
It bounces unpredictably!
A reaction ball bounces in unpredictable directions, challenging your balance and coordination. The goal is the catch it.
The Sturdey Reaction Ball can be used alone or with friends, as shown in the guided video included in your purchase.
