EXERCISE MAT vs YOGA MAT

The difference between an exercise mat and a yoga mat can be many but generally speaking exercise mats tend to be thicker than a yoga mat. Exercise mats are often 5mm thicker or more since you usually spend alot of your exercise time lying down on it. When it comes to yoga mats many yoga poses call for a strong connection to the floor and here an excellent grip is more important than for an exercise mat.

So what mat should I buy for my "home gym"? We recommend - the Grip & Cushion Yoga mat - if you should only go for one piece of equipment, this is it! You can perform many exercises with just your own body weight, all you need is an exercise mat with a really great grip!
