Why should you buy an exercise mat?

A fitness mat is a basic accessory for comfortable, safe and effective workouts at home, in the gym or even outdoors. Regardless of whether you do yoga, Pilates, stretching or strength exercises, a properly selected exercise mat will help reduce the load on your joints, prevent slipping and make each movement as stable as possible.

When performing exercises on a hard surface, the body receives additional stress: knees, elbows, back suffer. That is why an exercise mat becomes not just a convenience, but a necessity. It performs several important functions at once:

• cushioning and joint protection;
• anti-slip surface for safe exercise performance;
• thermal insulation from cold floors;
• hygiene during classes.

If you plan to exercise regularly, the decision to buy an exercise mat is an investment in your health and comfort. You can also buy yoga blocks on our website, which can be used for exercises and improve your physical condition. 

PVC and cork mats

We offer our customers the two most popular and proven options: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) mats and cork mats. Each of them has its own strengths.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) mats:

• high wear resistance — suitable for regular training;
• good cushioning, which is especially important for fitness and weight-bearing exercises;
• affordable price — the best option if you want to buy a training mat inexpensively;
• easy to care for — just wipe after training;
• versatility — suitable for both home training and the gym.

Cork mats:

• natural and environmentally friendly material;
• excellent anti-slip properties — even during intensive training or in humidity;
• a pleasant texture for hands and feet;
• durability and resistance to deformation;
• a stylish look that adds aesthetics to your workouts.

That is why, if you are looking for comfort and naturalness, you should pay attention to a cork yoga mat. And for universal training, a classic PVC training mat will be an excellent solution.

How to choose a yoga mat

Yoga requires stability, so the surface of the mat should be as non-slip as possible. If you are planning to buy a yoga mat, pay attention to the comfort for your palms and feet, as well as the ability of the mat to provide balance in poses. To better work out the back and lower back area, you can buy a set of yoga and fitness massagers. 

Cork models are especially popular among yoga enthusiasts, as they do not slip even during active movement and provide reliable grip on the surface.
