anthemboy Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 At a local race recently there were some sales people marketing Power Balance holograms. See https://www.powerbalance.net/They did demonstrations on how it improves your balance and core strength. I am always sceptical on these type of things but was impressed on how it changed my resistance to losing my balance. Everyone who has not tried it will shout "Snake oil" but those who have, reckons it works. Anyone tried it?
Gary L Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 yeah ive tried it before, I rated it was a mental thing....although it did work
anthemboy Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Well I finally stopped using mine. Since I got it, I've had the worst 2 months of my cycling career. Coincidence?, maybe, but it did not make me feel or perform better, so why bother. I gave it a fair chance, but like I thought intially, nothing more than snake oil!! Good money wasted...
jmaccelari Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 The mind is a powerful thing. Sometimes snake oil is the best solution. It's healthier (and more legal) than taking drugs!!!
