The 'Balance Pods' are a simple yet highly effective solution for avid athletes seeking out a way to increase their workout intensity, strengthen their body even further and maximize their balance.
The pods work by being placed on the floor and stood on, but will require the user to continuously activate a wide range of muscles to keep themselves in place due to the rounded bottom on each pad. The pods weigh less than one-pound and can be used with specially designed pads when first starting out to get used to the experience before using the items regularly.
The 'Balance Pods' are suited for a wide range of athletes and are even great for rehabilitation thanks to the way that they target for muscles and stabilizers.
