It is important to choose a professional fitness mat

There are more and more friends in fitness, but there are still many people who can't tell the difference between fitness mats and yoga mats, and even many people use yoga mats as fitness mats. Now let's talk about fitness mats and yoga mats.

What are the differences:

1. Different uses:

Yoga mats are mainly used to practice yoga, and the basic movements are mainly stretching and relaxation, such as downward dog, mountain, cat, baby, corpse, etc.;

The fitness mat is mainly used for fitness exercise, and the basic movements are mainly running, jumping, and pressing, such as T25, P90X, Insanity, HIIT, dance gymnastics, skipping rope, burpee, etc.;

Second, the material is different:

The material of yoga mat is generally divided into rubber foam, TPE foam, EVA, latex mat, NBR mat, etc. The surface particles are uniform, the bubbles are full, the hand feel is soft, and it is non-toxic, odorless, non-slip, has strong resilience and affinity to human skin. It is an ideal choice for yoga practitioners.

The material of the professional fitness mat is made of high-quality environmentally friendly PVC. The surface is hard, wear-resistant and rub-resistant, natural and environmentally friendly, without peculiar smell, safe and non-toxic, non-slip grip, resilience, shock resistance, and high-end quality.

Three, different sizes:

The regular size of the yoga mat is 4575px*1525px, which is slightly larger than the height of the practitioner, suitable for practicing various yoga poses;

The minimum size of the professional fitness mat is 4750px*2000px, and the maximum size is 7500px*4500px. You can choose the appropriate mat size according to different fitness activities. The larger the size, the better the large-scale and high-intensity training!

Fourth, the thickness is different:

The thickness of the yoga mat varies from 1-15mm, and the thickness of different materials is different. The thickness of PU rubber is between 1-6mm, and the thickness of TPE is between 6-15mm, which is soft and comfortable. Practitioners can choose the appropriate thickness according to their practice stage;

The thickness of the professional fitness mat is 7-8mm, because most fitness exercises are high-intensity exercises, and neither thick nor thin can keep the body stable during exercise and protect the joints and the floor.

Five, different grip:

The material of the yoga mat is rubber foam, TPE foam, EVA, latex mat, and NBR, which are light and portable. In static yoga poses, the grip is suitable, but the mat will move with the movement during large-scale exercise. ;

Professional fitness mats are made of high-density professional-grade PVC foam, with high density and solid weight, suitable for almost all flat floors, with firm grip and intact during exercise.

Six, the durability is different:

The surface layer of the yoga mat pays attention to the affinity of human skin, and it is delicate and comfortable to practice barefoot on the mat;

The surface of the professional fitness mat is hard, wear-resistant and rub-resistant, and can withstand the high-intensity training of shoes.

Yoga and fitness are two completely different sports. Yoga needs to choose a professional yoga mat, and fitness also needs to choose a professional fitness mat!
