Exercise mats

An exercise mat provides comfort and stability when exercising at home or in the gym. It is ideal for yoga, aerobics, Pilates or fitness training. It is also worth getting one for corrective or rehabilitation exercises. Thanks to an exercise mat, you will be able to exercise in complete comfort - without feeling uncomfortable, you will strengthen your muscles and make your silhouette slim and firm.

Exercise mats - what are they?

There are different types of exercise mats. Exercise mats are among the most popular and versatile. People who want to keep fit at home use them for various types of training - fitness, aerobics and Pilates. Why use mats? Firstly, they provide comfort during exercise. They separate the exercising person's body from the floor, thus guaranteeing a comfortable workout and thermal insulation. On the one hand, the thickness of the exercise mat allows you to maintain your balance during exercise, while on the other hand, it separates you from the cold floor and guarantees support stability. In addition, the product protects against slipping, injury, bruising and abrasions. At Yakimasport, you will find exercise mats that are characterised by high mechanical strength. So you don't have to worry about damaging them even after prolonged use.

Yakimasport training mats

In the Yakimasport online shop we offer, among other things, a non-slip reinforced training mat for fitness, Pilates and yoga. It has been created from NBR PRO material with a thickness of up to 15 millimetres.

Why is the NBR PRO material worth choosing? It is a blend of synthetic rubber and foam, which guarantees excellent cushioning and comfortable training. The rubber does not absorb perspiration or moisture and is also water-repellent. As a result, the mat dries quickly and is easy to clean. The NBP PRO material is also characterised by its high durability and resistance to abrasion and tearing.

The training mat is also distinguished by its high elasticity and shape memory. Regardless of the duration of pressure, it returns to its original shape. The foam guarantees thermal comfort, insulating your body perfectly against the surface. The training mat can be quickly rolled up and fastened with straps, and then easily transported. The product is suitable for training at home, in a fitness club or outdoors. Thanks to the training mat, you will comfortably take care of your health and shapely body.

Exercise mats - what should you consider when choosing one?

When choosing exercise mats, there are several things to consider. It is advisable to opt for a specific product whose parameters will be matched to the type of exercise and its intensity.

Mat thickness

The traditional thickness of an exercise mat is around 5 or 6 millimetres. For yoga or recreational exercises, even a thinner variant of the product will work well. If, on the other hand, you are doing a workout that needs more cushioning, choose an exercise mat created from a thicker and denser material. This allows you to work out comfortably in a variety of positions - on your back or on your stomach.

Mat dimensions

An exercise mat usually measures 200x100 or 200x120 centimetres. When choosing a mat, check that your whole body can fit on it. You can hardly expect to work out comfortably if the mat is too small.

Flexibility

It should be possible to roll up a training mat without the product losing its flexibility after some time and starting to break uncomfortably when rolling. This allows you to take the mat with you to your workout and store it conveniently.

Material

The material of the training mat should be durable and waterproof. This has to do with the fact that the product comes into contact with floor dirt, bacteria and human sweat. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for a mat created from materials that are machine washable and durable.

Adhesiveness

The workout mat should be characterised by its grip - this makes even the most intensive workout completely safe. For exercises that involve rapid position changes, opt for a model with herringbone tread. This will increase the mat's grip on the ground.

Price

When purchasing an exercise mat, it is also worth considering its quality. A durable product will last for years and will not need to be replaced quickly with a new one. A mat with a higher price tag often stands out for its better quality.
