A flexible infrared heat exercise pad provides a warming surface through the use of infrared energy transmissions from the pad to the user. The infrared heat exercise pad includes a top layer and a bottom layer of cloth material, sandwiching a coiled heating wire having an upper and lower foil layer. A layer of padding, such as foam or cotton-based padding, is provided. A power source is connected to the coiled heating wire to provide a current through the wire. In response to the current, infrared heat is created and, by coupling through the upper and lower foil layers, provides a consistent heat emission from the surfaces of the pad. The heat level can be set ranging from low to high, and the duration of heating can be set to accommodate workouts having varying periods of use, or for the first portion of a workout, for example.
