Global gymnastic mat producer AIREX® has created a new extra large version of its Balance-pad.

The multi-functional piece of kit is 98cm (38.5in) in length and is said to be particularly suitable for lateral position exercises although it is also suitable for endurance and therapeutic training.

The pad has many uses for instructors including promoting inter-muscular coordination as a part of strength training. Usable on both sides, the waffle pattern on the top and the underside of the pad ensures that the product is non-slip while massaging and stimulating the soles of the feet.

Actively promoting blood circulation, the stimulation of receptors in the feet also enhances a user's wellbeing.
