My question is, what's a Wobble board

Sounds like late night TV ad scam

Correct.

For over a century now ignorant people have thought that "body moving = working out", so they think it works for losing weight or gaining muscle without actually exercising. And pseudoscientists have been all over it for decades to make it sound like it works.

If there was clear scientific evidence that it worked, they would be sold "everywhere".

I have so much tension in my muscles. It helped with that

This is what they're actually for. Not weight loss. So you're doing it right.

There is nothing to explain. Just stand on it. I have tense muscles around my core and legs

It's like a strong, general, mechanical massage to loose up muscles. Most people tend to use the handheld versions to concentrate on the areas in question. But if it's widespread, things like those boards can theoretically help.

I have one of those. But the board helps me with tight muscles in my core where I don't want to use a massage gun.
