Gymnastics mats: their importance and functionality

Although it may seem very obvious, it is important to review the benefits of using gym mats, since it is such a common material that sometimes we do not appreciate why we need it.

First of all, gymnastics mat s give comfort to your workout, because they avoid direct contact with the floor. They prevent the transmission of cold, heat or irregularities of the ground if, for example, you find yourself exercising outdoors.

Good training mats allow you to practice sports avoiding injuries, since they have a grip to the ground that gives you security when making movements. In addition, the thickness of the mats for gymnastics is also important to avoid direct impact of your limbs with the ground and facilitate the practice of the exercise. For example, to support your knees or elbows, it will be much easier to do the exercises with a mat, although you can always complement it with a pillow.

Gymnastics mat s are your best ally for the practice of physical exercise

Fitness mats are used in many different activities and for an infinite number of different exercises. You can use them for personal training, body mind, yoga, pilates, stretching and also for more comfortable floor exercises such as sit-ups or push-ups.

Training mats are essential for physical exercise. Have you ever seen a gym without mats? Have you noticed that different areas of the gym have different mats? It is important to have the right mat for each activity or workout. For example, Pilates mat s are longer than the mats in the fitness and supervised rooms, since Pilates requires a larger surface area to perform the exercises of this discipline.

Yoga mats are thinner than pilates mats, in order to help maintain balance during training. There are also single-layer mats for easy storage and conservation. There are other thicker mats for other floor exercises or even impact exercises and also depending on the weight of the person. These tools help to avoid injuries that can happen when doing physical exercise on the floor.

If you want to follow your exercise routines also at home, gym mats are a must in your list of materials. You can have more than one depending on the type of exercise you want to do and the floor you want to use them on.

Choose one or more gym mats and the right furniture to keep them in good condition

While it is true that there are already some routine hygiene measures after each practice to clean the mats, it is also important to store them properly to extend their life or durability and prevent them from getting dirtier. That is why it is important to have gymnastics mat furniture that allows for proper folding and hanging of the mats before and after use.
