The balance pad may seem superfluous, but it can completely change your workout at home. Balance pads help build stability and strength in your lower body just by using your own body weight. They’re great to use in full-body exercises, like squats and lunges, to help build strong joints. Adding a balance pad can change your entire workout routine for the better, so we’ve rounded up some of the best you can get.
