We've all seen Wall-E, with a stout and lazy human race glued to floating screens while a hovering chair sends them wherever they need to go. Let's flash back from the future to present day, where we have this two-wheel smart self-balancing hover-board scooter thing. Some have postulated that these hover-boards are a step towards a dystopia, because it doesn't promote an 'active lifestyle.' Well, let's explore that.
People are breaking the Internet searching for top hover-board vines, smart balance wheel reviews, the best hover-board brands and companies, and even hover-board fail compilations where people take swift and sometimes comical spills while learning to ride these crazy things.
I've
been using these feats of technology for a while now, and it's safe
to say that it's hardly a floating Lay-Z-Boy. Even when I'm standing
on it doing absolutely nothing, I can feel muscles firing and
increased heart-rate. Not only that, but after I've been on my smart
balance wheel for a while, my body definitely feels active, albeit
sweat-free. So what's really going on?

You may have seen ergonomic chairs that engage your body through small movements. This is called "active sitting" and there are many products out there that take advantage of this phenomenon. The principle is simple: it's impossible to sit on them perfectly still, and they don't rigidly support the body so you can never be completely at rest. The end result: multiple muscle groups are constantly firing in micro-movements, improving balance, circulation, and (you guessed it) burning more calories.
According to research, active sitting burns about 50% more calories per hour than sitting in a standard-posture chair.
Wikipedia expounds further on the benefits of this concept:
“Since the individual is able to move in a controlled manner during active sitting, the body will strengthen postural muscles to maintain balance. This conditioning of the core muscles of the spine and trunk may significantly aid in preventing back pain. In turn, it is understood that movement lubricates and nourishes the spinal joints and inter-vertebral discs, keeping skeletal joints flexible and healthy.”
This seems to be what is happening when I'm on my smart balance wheel, except standing instead of sitting. Standing on the two-wheeled self-balancing scooter is definitely more active than standing on the solid ground. It's so fun, however, that I don't notice how my body is constantly engaging with the hover-board. Moving forward and backward requires continuous calf and lower leg muscle movements to maintain control. I tighten my core every single time I'm turning or rotating, because if I don't, my body is just 'flopping around' and I'm more likely to lose control. After a couple hours of using the two-wheel balance scooter, I get hungry. These activities are all undetectable to the bystander.
Personally, I'd rather grab a salad and then glide to the beach than walk to the store for a Family Size bag of Doritos and polish off the whole thing on the couch. Which I occasionally also do. I'm not perfect.
