If you need only 1/2 inch, use either marine ply or if it is for interior, use any hardwood plywood that has solid plies of the same or similar material. There is also a “lumber core” available but a little harder to find at your local store.Marine ply in addition to having waterproof glue [as most exterior plywoods do] also has no “voids” which pretty well all other plywoods do. these are natural openings like knots etc that are in the unseen plies that make up the sheets. This improves the impact strength. There is a 1/2 inch birch that is without voids that is used in the furniture making business but I am darned if I can think of the name of it!... Show More

https://shorturl.im/JP73qAny of the answers stating that it doesn’t have strengthening benefits on the upper body are obviously not runners/ don’t understand the mechanics of running.

Not only will running give you good posture, but it has benefits on the abs and to an extent the upper body in general. (this all comes from a correct running action, and keeping your body upright whilst running.) Don’t get me wrong, your not going to get any bigger/ ridiculously stronger ‘up top’ running (hence runners do core exercises, such as press ups and sit ups) but it will make you stronger....
