Airex Balance Pad Elite

What is the Airex Elite?

The Airex Balance Pad Elite is used by many in fitness training, physio, and rehabilitation for a variety of reasons. It helps people obtain a better sense of balance through training and engagement by providing a stabilized 2.5-inch foam pad with a waffle-textured surface on the upper and lower sides for slip-resistance.

The Elite Balance pad can be used as a seated pad for yoga poses, a support platform for push-ups, a soft foundation for balancing, or a flotation device for water aerobics due to its dense closed-cell foam material. The pad is also used by professionals in training clients, in a physical therapy environment, thanks to its earned AGR seal of approval. The Airex pad has unique features embedded in its design to increase support through grip and the waffle-texture top. The Elite mat provides a cushioned yet stable foundation for all activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Balance Pad Elite Used?
Use the balance pad as a stepper or even as a soft and supportive cushion in the pool to flutter kick for a stronger core. Stand and balance with one foot to engage the glutes and core for a stronger foundation. Or if none of these sound good, perhaps take time to meditate -- the balance pad will make this very comfortable.

How does a balance pad work?
A balance pad forces the body to engage muscles used for self-stabilization. The pad's foam design maintains shape while the user is balancing, giving the body the opportunity to trigger muscle groups such as abdominals, glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves to maintain balance. Of course, the balance pad has other uses, such as an elevation platform for push-ups or a sitting pad for abdominal extensions or lower ab workouts.

How can users improve balance with the balance pad?
The Elite Balance Pad is a cushioned barrier between the user and the unforgiving ground. The non-skid waffle-textured surface makes it easier to exercise without the worry of slipping on hard flooring or carpet. Improving balance requires time during an exercise session. Without support such as from the balance pad, you leave yourself open to pain and injury. Balancing without a cushioned foundation leaves your foot to receive all of the weight with nothing to help absorb the shock. The thick 6-centimeter pad provides an absorbent foundation, allowing users to go the extra minute, getting the most out of their sessions.

Is a balance pad and balance cushion the same?
The short answer is no, they are not the same. Balance pads are designed to hold their shape when in use. A balance pad has more firmness to it than a balance cushion or balance disc, which are designed to provide cushioned support, sacrificing firmness and shape as they are often filled with air.
