WHY YOU SHOULD GET A TRAINING MAT

As mentioned, a training mat is essential for improving your workout significantly. It protects your body from hard surfaces, enhancing comfort. It also helps prevent falls as most mats today have non-slip surfaces.

Use it for pilates, joint exercises, thighs, abs, or full-body workouts. Improve your acrobatic positions easily with a good base, like protecting your elbows.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST TRAINING MAT

When getting a new mat, consider several factors. First, think about the type that suits your purpose best. Options include thick gym mats, yoga mats, and short or long mats. Thick gym mats are good for exercises not needing ground grip, ideal for floor exercises like crunches for added comfort. They may slightly reduce balance due to thickness and usually lack grip surfaces. This type is soft and comfortable, typically 8-20 mm thick. Yoga mats are thinner, offering better ground contact. They are usually 2-8 mm thick, making them optimal for various exercises. Lastly, the length is important for comfort and easy storage. Longest mats can be up to 200 cm, shortest around 75 cm. Consider the mat's purpose before deciding on length.

STORING YOUR TRAINING MAT

After use, there are several storage options. The easiest is to roll it up and place it in a closet or corner. Many mats today also have holes for hanging.

There are various accessories you can buy for your mat. A carry strap can make it easier to take your mat on the go, while a bag helps if you want to bring clothes, shoes, and water to your session. Finally, investing in a cleaning solution is always a good idea to keep your mat clean, as it kills bacteria and reduces odor.
