Yoga, Pilates and Gym Mats – Buyer’s Guide
A lightweight, soft exercise mat provides a non-slip, comfortable surface for any home fitness programme and can be used as a gym mat, Pilates mat or yoga mat. If you are performing strengthening exercises or core stability exercises on a hard surface, an exercise mat is essential for your safety and comfort. Folding gym mats or roll-up exercise mats are a good choice as, being easy to store and transport, they are perfect for use either in the home or at the gym.
Using a Fitball Roller in conjunction with an exercise mat will improve the quality of your home fitness and rehabilitation programmes. Placed beneath the lower back, a Fitball Roller supports the natural curve of the lower spine during ‘sit up’ exercises and serves as a moderately unstable base for a wide range of other strengthening and core stability exercises.
