It's best to train on a firm, level, and smooth surface, such as laminate, parquet, or tiles. This will keep the balance pad stable and provide an optimal base for your exercises. Avoid carpets or soft surfaces, as these can cause the pad to wobble and make exercises more difficult.

Barefoot, you'll feel every movement more intensely and specifically train your foot and leg muscles, ideal for better balance and stability. With sturdy training shoes, however, you'll enjoy additional support. Try out which option is most comfortable for you; both are possible.

Especially at the beginning, it can be helpful to support yourself lightly on a wall or a sturdy chair. Start each exercise in a controlled manner and without hasty movements. Make sure the training surface is non-slip and that there is enough free space around you to move safely.
