It looks very unspectacular and it is also. It is a thick solid foam cushions into which one sinks slightly when entering. Even if it remains standing quietly with both feet, you realize that a permanent small balancing is necessary, and thus many of the muscles supporting muscles are used. I learned for the first time of the Airex Balance-Pad through a book about running. It is recommended as an alternative to balance and stabilization exercises outdoors. It's a wonderfully relaxing feeling to enter this pad - and the one-legged balance exercises have it in them. I like this very simple straightforward exercise machine with the comfort factor. My expectations for the Airex Balance-Pad have been fully met.
