Gaiam Core Balance Kit

The video that accompanies the pods is well done and is a great workout for someone moderately out of shape. We use the balance pods in an off label manner to practice horseback riding position (great for 2-point). They are a great value if you want a balance disk/pod for each foot. My one complaint is that the pods don''t all have a consistent "squish" or resistance, but it''s not really noticeable when you are doing the exercises.

These pods are a great way to add extra intensity to your routine. They work great for yoga & pilates moves, and the video has other suggestions on how to incorporate these pods into your fitness regimen. The nubby side can be hard on the hands you may want to wear gloves. FYI you''ll need an air pump & needle to inflate them later on.

I first used balance pods like these at my small local gym, but the trainer who owned them left, taking her pods with her. I missed them so much, I finally ordered these online. I haven''t cracked open the CD with all of the complex exercises, I just use them to do simple balancing while watching TV or brushing my teeth (which is a lot harder than you might think, using just one leg at a time!) Good for the core, great for maintaining balance. You probably should not expect to use them with bare feet they are pretty spiky but maybe that''s something to work up to.

We use these for our son who has autism and sensory issues. The same type of product is at lease twice as much in the therapeutic catalogs. Excellent for sensory feedback, strength and balance!

These are a great portable tool for me to use when I do personal training. I had to return one set due to the air plug coming out on the first use, but the company replaced free of charge. It will be interesting to see how long they last since there is no way to re-inflate them if they lose air or no spare plugs. BUT, easy to use and challenges core.
