My Written
Review:
This is a great piece of equipment for your home gym. This balancing bad is a good size for standing balancing poses, or poses on your arms.
Why Use This
Balancing Pad?
*
Yoga Core Training: this balancing pad creates more of a challenge for you in your standing poses or arm balancing poses. This pad destabilizes positions that you may be totally comfortable with on the firm group so your muscles really have to work to find your center and hold that balance. You can use this pad throughout your normal yoga flow and challenge ever aspect of your workout routine. And it really does add a challenge! I love using it for arm balancing poses also because it gives a nice cushion and support for my hands and wrists which frequently tire quickly.
*Improving
Coordination and
Balance: You could use this for hands and knees exercises or simply standing and finding balance on one leg while changing positions. If you are searching for simple skills like improved balance on one or both legs, work with this pad can help you improve.
*
Physical Rehabilitation: If you have had an injury, say to your foot, leg, knee, hip or ankle, this may be helpful in gaining strength back in those areas. I broke my knee cap a few years ago and worked with a pad similar to this in physical therapy.
Once I learned to walk again, finding the strength and ability to stand and balance on that one weak leg was such a challenge! I really wish that I had had this at my home back then when I was working to regain strength and stability.
Additional
Ways that I use this Balancing Pad:
I like to use this just for additional support when
I am doing exercises while kneeling or sitting. I like to let my sits bones sink into it and find balance when I am sitting and deep breathing or meditating. This would be so comfortable and helpful in practicing pre-natal yoga as well!
Again, why didn’t I have one of these sooner??
The possibilities for use are pretty much endless and buying this product has inspired me to get back into my regular yoga practice and improve my balance. I did yoga religiously while pregnant as I needed it for strength and daily comfort, but have gotten out of the habit in the past year while I have been focusing on cardio and toning. My changing body needs to constantly work to find balance. The pad is well-made and durable and a great piece to use in my home gym.
