What is a foam balance pad, and how does it work on your balance control?

Our foam balance pad is a thick fitness pad made from high-density soft foam that, when you step on it, compresses slightly under your weight, creating an unstable surface. This unstable pad forces your brain, core, and lower-body joints to continuously make micro-adjustments to keep you balanced, engaging your stabiliser muscles, resulting in improved balance control.

What is the best exercise for stability and rehabilitation using a balance pad?

The most effective exercise is the single-leg stand, which directly utilises the pad's thick, soft, and unstable surface to engage your stabiliser muscles. This also causes your feet, ankles, and leg muscles to synchronise and coordinate to maintain stability.

Can I use the balance pad for lower-body strength training?

Performing squats or lunges with one or both feet on the balance pad adds difficulty to your knees and hips far more than a flat floor. Adding a balance pad to your workout makes this a high-intensity stability training.

Can I use balance pads for standing poses or Pilates?

A balance pad is a versatile training tool and is highly suitable for yoga, Pilates, general fitness, or as a seat cushion to support posture. These pads can also support your knees during deep stretches or kneeling poses.

Can I use this exercise foam balance pad while wearing shoes?

Yes, you can use the balance pad with athletic sneakers. However, to maximise its lifespan and prevent any scratches or permanent marks on the foam, avoid shoes with sharp cleats, heels, or aggressive tread patterns.

What exercises can you do with a balance pad?

You can use a foam balance pad to increase intensity in bodyweight or free-weight workouts. Our foam pads are perfect for variations of squats, lunges, planks, push-ups, and single-leg deadlifts. You can also use this balance pad for yoga balances, Pilates routines, ankle physical therapy drills or seated core exercises.

How long should I use a foam balance pad?

For balance and stability training, start with 8 to 10 minutes per session added into your daily routine or warm-up. If you are doing single-leg balances or lunges, aim for 3 to 4 sets of holding for 30 to 60 seconds per leg. You can increase it to 15-20 minutes once you are comfortable and looking to add more challenge.

What is the best exercise for balance using a foam balance pad?

The Single-Leg Balance Hold is the best balance exercise you can do using a Northern Foam Balance Pad. Place the pad on a flat surface, step one foot onto the centre of the pad and then lift your opposite foot off the ground. Hold this position for 30 seconds and increase the time daily to add some challenge.
