Gymnastics in the office with TOGU Brasil

Due to their handy size the Brasil® can be deposited on the desk. Only when a device is within reach is it used regularly. Ask yourself or your course participants: How many devices do you have that are stored in a corner or cupboard and never used?

So, let´s start your training with TOGU Brasil

Mini Moves: Feeling and activating the deep muscles that stabilize your body in rotation, lateral tilt and bending/stretching. We achieve this by fast, short hacking movements.

Execute the mini moves for approx. 10 – 40 seconds with a force expenditure of less than 30% of your individual maximum force and a movement amplitude of approx. 15 cm.

    Ready for the slopes: preparing for skiing with the Dynair Balance Master
    TOGU | 8 December 2025
    Why preparation is important Skiing, whether alpine, cross-country, or ski touring, is one of the most popular winter sports, but it also poses particular challenges for the body. Joints, muscles, and coordination must work together perfectly to safely master stresses such as rapid changes of direction, jumps, or long descents. Those who start the season unprepared risk not only sore muscles, but also pain and injury. That's why it's worth training specifically before the first day of snow.
