Visual Perception

Visual Perception while developing balance is one of the missing links that most products do not have. With the Woggle Gym program and the demands of both the Rug and the Ring Maze, visual perception, proprioception, and the vestibular system ( the tripod of functional balance) are developed concurrently. The development of peripheral vision for athletic performance is another benefit of our curriculum. See Video Clip.

Dot Pyramid with Weights or CorBall

Beginning in start position with weights or CorBall climb the pyramid of dots at the beginning of the rug. Beginning with right foot first dot and back. Followed by left foot first dot back and repeat with second, third and fourth dots. Reaching black ring sets you free to do the 180’s through out the rug and back. Hold your weights or CorBall high and discover a rhythm while walking that maximizes upper body movement.

Red Dot Crossover (with weights)

Place the Woggler with both feet on 1 side of the line and on the red dots. Mount the Woggler, place feet in walking position. Lift your weights with elbows bent, and proceed to step across the line with first foot on the red dot then the second foot across the line to the adjacent red dot. Now with the first foot step back across the line to the next red dot and follow with the opposite foot. Build as much speed as you can and work your way up and down the rug.

Walking the Rug in push-up position (with hand grips)

Place Woggler in start position, grasping grips in a push-up position, begin with the red dots and crawl forward and then backward to start position. Next attempt to crawl the yellow dots. Etc.
