The ProsourceFit Exercise Balance Pad creates a destabilized surface that will improve your balance, enhance body awareness, and strengthen your feet, ankles, and knees. When standing, kneeling, or sitting on the pad, your core muscles will naturally engage more than on a stable surface. This creates a stronger core, as well as a more stable and muscular body overall. The textured, non-slip fitness pad can be used for the most simple of exercises like standing on one leg or holding a plank, great for anyone new to fitness, undergoing physical therapy, or for older adults to improve balance and reduce falling. It can also be used by experienced fitness lovers to make workouts more challenging, such as for single leg squats, single-leg deadlifts, and reverse lunges. The soft surface is also excellent for strengthening weak joints and improving ankle stability, a must-have for recovering from ankle or foot injuries, as well as preventing future injuries and improving mobility. It’s a great tool for runners, skiers, basketball players, triathletes, and any other athlete. The non-toxic TPE material is water-resistant, making it easy to clean and excellent at preventing sweat and odors. It is also lightweight – less than one pound - so it’s convenient to take to the gym, office, or in luggage when you travel. The 15.5”L x 12.75”W x 2.25”H size is ideal for sitting or standing on. But don’t limit your use of the balance pad to exercise! This versatile product can be used as a seat cushion on bleachers or an uncomfortable desk chair, as a kneeling pad for gardening or stretching, or as a comfortable surface for standing on while washing dishes, working at a standing desk, and more.
