A balance board device and kit, as well as a method of using it, for allowing, without any readjustment assembling or manipulation, a rocking, rolling and rotating motion, even up to 360.degree. movements. The device includes a foot engageable board and a roller, and can be combined into an amusement, recreation and exercise kit, which includes a mat to enable the balance device to be used in almost any location, and provides increased safety to the user. The board has rounded ends, and a pair of rounded, small stops are mounted on the underside of the opposite ends of the board to limit back and forth movement of the board relative to the roller, and yet to permit clearance past the roller when the board is used to rotate in a horizontal plane relative to the roller. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A balancing board device, comprising: a base roller; an elongated rectangular balancing board resting freely and rockably on top of said base roller; a pair of movement limiting devices mounted on the underside of the board in a spaced apart manner and disposed substantially on the central longitudinal axis of the board to permit free rotational movement of the board with the user positioned on top thereof in a horizontal plane relative to the roller even as it rolls reciprocatively; and channel-shaped tracks for supporting said limiting devices in a positionally adjustable manner to enable the limiting devices to be adjusted positionally toward or away from one another.
2.
The device of claim 1 wherein the limiting devices are rotatably mounted.
3.
The device of claim 2, further including means defining holds on top of the board in a spaced apart manner.
4.
The device of claim 3 wherein said means includes two pairs of D-ring devices countersunk fixedly into each longitudinal end of the board and arranged spaced apart longitudinally, and strap means for attaching releaseably to said D-ring devices.
5.
The device of claim 4, further including holding means spaced apart on top of the board.
6.
The device of claim 5, wherein said holding means includes two pair of D-ring devices on top of either end of the board.
7.
The device of claim 4, wherein the base board has a roughened underside surface and two roughened circles on the longitudinal ends of the upperside of the board.
8.
The balancing board device of claim 2 in combination with a mat to form a kit, wherein the mat has a roughened upper surface for engaging the roller frictionally.
9.
The kit of claim 8 wherein said mat includes a sheet of coarse fabric material to serve as the roughened surface.
10.
The kit of claim 9, wherein said mat includes a resilient backing sheet secured to said sheet of fabric material.
