pete's choice Foam Balance Pad, Blue Size L — Extra Large 16 x 13.5 x 2 in Stability Trainer for Balance & Rehab

pete's choice Extra Large Foam Balance Pad is a 16" x 13.5" x 2" stability trainer designed to improve balance, core strength and rehabilitation comfort for exercise, yoga and physical therapy.

This oversized foam balance pad provides a soft, supportive surface that challenges stability while protecting sensitive joints. Engineered for both fitness and rehab, it increases the difficulty of standard moves—squats, lunges, single-leg stands—without harsh impact, and it also doubles as a lumbar or foot cushion when you need extra comfort. Built from tear-resistant, waterproof foam with an easy-to-clean finish, the pad includes a premium stretching strap and an exercise guide so you can start safely and effectively.

How will this balance pad fit into my daily workout routine?

The extra large surface gives you more room to experiment with foot placement and movement patterns, making common exercises more effective for balance and core activation. It’s especially helpful for people who progress from two-foot to single-leg work or add unstable surfaces to strengthen stabilizer muscles.

• Use under both feet for gentle wobble training and added core engagement.
• Place one foot or the forefoot on the pad for single-leg balance drills.
• Add to push-ups, planks or knee lifts to increase instability and challenge.
• Pair with the included strap for assisted stretches and mobility work.

Is this suitable for physical therapy and injury recovery?

The pad is designed to be versatile for rehabilitation settings: its soft foam reduces impact on knees, ankles and lower back while allowing controlled instability that helps retrain proprioception. Therapists often use it for progressive balance challenges and to gradually reintroduce load-bearing movements.

• Large surface allows graded progressions from double- to single-limb tasks.
• Waterproof, tear-resistant finish withstands clinic or home use.

What are the build quality and maintenance features?

Manufactured from durable closed-cell foam, the pad resists tears, moisture and common wear, so it stays hygienic and usable for a long time. The smooth finish wipes clean quickly; the printed logo is designed to remain crisp through repeated use.

• Closed-cell, waterproof foam prevents sweat and fluid absorption.
