See How Chris Phillips Keeps His Athletes Honest

Cheat Proof Exercise... Try This Trick 

Compete Sports Performance and Rehab

Chris Philips, ATC, CSCS is a Certified Athletic Trainer, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and owner of Compete Sports Performance and Rehab. With over 20 years working with the NHL, Arena Football and Professional Soccer- he's pumping out top athletes. 

Find him at the Lake Forest and Westminster Locations in California where he will put you to the test and create a program that meets your needs.

His "cheat proof" plank/push up exercise requires a ball to stay centered on the Si Board. This prevents the athlete from resting the bottom ball against the rail and getting out of the demanding position.

A million thank you notes could not suffice! I am the proud owner of a masterpiece of art!

Ward is a professional Disc Golfer in Oregon. He recently jumped on board with his Freestyle Original and 6.5" ball. Weekly videos of his progress come to my email. I can't wait to show you the month long progression of his training!

Answering Your Questions

What Type of Mat Do You Suggest


Many have asked what type of riding surface is best for a Si Board. Some have hardwood, tile or concrete floors. These can be too slick or scratch the rail. Over the years I've collected lots of materials to test. 

Thicker softer material will slow down the ball speed for beginners. I like the foam interlocking squares on concrete and have a 6' x 8' area set up for my Commando board.

Here's the scoop.

The best installed options:
  • Carpet or heavy area rug 
  • Indoor turf
  • Interlocking foam squares
  • Rubberized gym floor
The best "on-the-go" options:
  • Interlocking foam squares
  • Anti-fatigue mat
  • Heavy rubber backed carpet
What doesn't work well:
  • Thin rubber- it tends to lift up and shift
  • Cotton bath rug without rubber backing
  • Anything with seams/textures that take away a smooth surface
