Are you looking for a balance pad or balance board and just can't decide? Are you unsure what the differences are and which training device is best for you and your goals? In our overview, we reveal the differences and what both devices can do for your balance.
Balance Pad or Balance Board - balance training introduced
Although the name doesn't necessarily suggest it, the Balance Pad and Balance Board are two fundamentally different training devices whose goals are also only vaguely related.
The Balance Pad is a classic training device from rehab and it allows you to actually perform simple exercises like squats on the Balance Pad. In doing so, a certain instability is induced into your workout and this trembling makes you work out of all the joints involved. It makes the workout experience fundamentally different and you can make even short yoga or HIIT sessions even harder. This makes the Balance Pad the perfect addition to your regular workouts, an intense introduction after a long break, or a useful pick-me-up after an injury.
The Balance Board, on the other hand, primarily addresses your balance and less your strength. It's mainly your legs, feet and ankles that are at work here and it's all about keeping yourself on the board. This can be frustrating at first, but much like surfing or slacklining , you'll slowly learn the fun of keeping your balance. The Nintendo Wii game console even uses the balance board as a peripheral.

Big differences in the balance sector
Whether you want to use Balance Pad or Balance Board (or even both), these training devices allow you to find more balance and stability in sports or everyday life. It's just that the pad and board do it in very different ways. The Balance Pad is a great support for your workout and whether you want to work on your stability after rehab or take your workout at home to the next level, a Balance Pad is just the right device for you. With the Balance Board, on the other hand, you really work primarily on your balance. If you want more coordination for free kicks, a secure stance in martial arts, more support from the foot when climbing or generally have problems with the ligaments, then the Balance Board is made for you.
