Balance pods are small, inflatable rubber vinyl half-domes that can be used for exercise and rehabilitation. They come in different sizes and colors, and have two sides with different benefits. They can also be used for message therapy and are even incorporated into some athletic shoes.
A balance pod is a unique training device that some users find fun and effective. This training device is a small portable half-dome made of inflatable rubber vinyl. Its design allows the athlete to use the capsules on any floor combination. A user can run, jump, hop, walk, or even bounce on the surface of the balance pod. Each maneuver provides different results and works different muscles, helping to tone the legs, thighs, buttocks, and core muscles.
Balance pods range in diameter size from 6 inches (15.24 cm) to 16 inches (40.64 cm), and are approximately 3 inches (7.62 cm) deep. The pods are available in a variety of colors. Its weight varies from 1.4 lbs (approximately 0.64 kg) to 4 lbs (approximately 2 kg), depending on the size of the pod. The capsules can be easily transported from your home to the office, the park or the gym. Not only are they useful for exercising and improving balance, but they can also be part of a rehabilitation program.
These training toys have two sides. One side features bumpy nodes that protrude from the surface, evenly spaced. The other side of the scabbard is flat and smooth. The Balance Pod can be used with any surface facing the ground. Each surface provides different benefits.
People of all levels of exercise ability can use a Balance Pod. To facilitate workouts, the capsule is placed with the flat side facing the floor. This arrangement allows the athlete to work on her balance and learn important moves before moving on to a more moderate skill level. Athletes who require a more intense workout wear the pods with the flat surface facing them while placing the bumpy side on the ground. A high level of coordination and balance is required for this type of training, and users should only attempt this workout after mastering the easier workout.
The irregular surface of the balance capsule is also useful for message therapy. Many people who regularly use balance capsules have noticed that their feet feel less tired after workouts. Some have even suggested placing the pods on the floor and, while sitting, rubbing your sore feet over the surface of the pods to soothe them.
Balance Pod technology has even made its way into the shoe market. Some athletic shoe companies offer shoes that are made with balance pods in the sole, thus creating a constant state of instability with each step. Like the Solo Balance Pods, these shoes provide the wearer with a workout.
