XL Foam Balance Pad - Created for Yoga Exercises, Gym Workout - Deadlift, Fitness Exercise - Squat, Gardening - for Men/Women - Non Slip That can be Used on Any Floor for Extra Knee Protection

Provides a good balance of firmness when used under sit bones, knees when doing floor exercises. It provides just enough elevation in order to make my floor exercises more effective; it creates proper alignment with an ultimate goal to avoid injury to knees and lower back strain. I haven't had it very long but can tell it is durable. Great feature is that it has no funky odor that, often times, is found in material of this kind. Happy w purchase!

The pad is well designed and sturdy. I got it to relearn balance after 7 month battle with cancer and chemo, so its firmness is not really what I need because it is too easy to balance. But for squats and planks the pad is awesome.

This is product is great to encourage balance. It works all the tiny muscles in the foot and strengthens the calve muscles.Highly recommend!

Had to get this for ankle injury. This is similar to what they use at PT. It is larger than I thought but either way that's on me. The product itself is exactly what I needed. Holding up well.

Good product got for my mom to use in wheelchair

If you need a mat that won't slip on smooth surfaces i.e wood floors, this is the one. Most foam mats slide easily, necessitating a yoga pad or carpet for adhesion. Wish it came in colors besides pink though

Excellent product! Great alternative to the super expensive Airex pad. Using to rehabilitate my knee and strengthen my ankles. Works really well.

Both items were exactly as described. Exactly what I needed.

We have been doing some exercises (strength, conditioning and stretching) using two of Dr Ragan Chatterjee’s books (The 4 Pillar Plan & Feel Better in 5) as guidelines for the last couple of years. So, we are used to doign our morning exercises but this foam balance pad now adds another dimension in that you work your core more because of the inbuilt instability of the pad. It’s early days, but we both feel the pad is going to be great going forward. The pad itself is of the right size, nice and light, and non-slip. My wife also does Yoga and having tried some exercises such as a lateral stretch finds that there is less pressure on her knees when using this pad (even compared with her normal thick Yoga mat). The book that accompanies the mat provides example exercises (beginner, intermediate and advanced) that is useful if you need a bit of guidance. There is also some information on the other products from Sports Medica.

I bought this pad to aid my rehab exercises on my hard wooden floor. It is the right level of support if I kneel on it or put my elbows on it and the texture makes my exercises more challenging by making me recruit my core muscles to stay in position. I am using it for planks, calf raises and single leg squats and enjoying the added effort of having to recruit my muscles and balance more. It’s very good quality as it is designed for this purpose and looks like it will last well.

Another really well considered product from sports medica. The balance mat is hopefully going to add another element to my training and provide a greater stimulus. The guide that comes with the product is excellent and I'm going to challenge myself with the exercises included.

A must for anyone with balance issues from rehab to athletes wanting to improve their game. This is a quality product. I have purchased 3 plus recommended them to several patients.

Top class So soft on the knees. Nice and big so you have plenty of options for exercises. Worth the money.
