Gymnastics mat: Your way to more comfort and safety during training

At motion sports we know how important a high-quality exercise mat is for your fitness exercises. A good sports mat ensures that you can do your workout comfortably, safely and without putting strain on your joints. But which exercise mat is best suited to your sport and your needs? In our comprehensive exercise mat guide we answer all the important questions, from the optimal thickness to choosing the right material.

What is an exercise mat?

An exercise mat is a specially designed mat for various fitness and sports exercises. It offers a padded and stable surface that increases comfort and safety during your workout. Exercise mats are used in areas such as yoga, Pilates, aerobics, stretching, bodyweight exercises and even in martial arts such as judo to ensure safe floor exercises. Exercise mats are indispensable, especially in the classroom. They protect joints, tendons and muscles from strain and provide an ideal basis for concentrated training. Our exercise mats are non-slip and odorless, so you can focus entirely on your training.

The advantages of a gymnastics mat - comfort and flexibility

The comfort of an exercise mat is crucial for a successful workout. A high-quality mat offers a thick, cushioning layer that absorbs shock and protects joints and muscles. This is especially important for exercises that require a lot of contact with the floor, such as yoga and Pilates. A well-padded mat reduces the risk of injury and ensures a pleasant training experience. The non-slip underside also ensures a secure footing, especially during complex movements and balance exercises. Our exercise mats are versatile and adapt to different types of training. Whether yoga, Pilates, stretching or bodyweight exercises - the mat offers a flexible and comfortable surface. You can use the sports mat both indoors in the home gym or gym and outdoors. When using it outdoors, make sure the surface is dry and suitable. The mats are easy to transport and can be easily rolled up, ideal for taking to the gym or training in the park.

Choosing the right gymnastics mat - thickness, material and size

Thickness of the exercise mat: The thickness of the exercise mat affects comfort and safety. For yoga and Pilates, which often require lying or kneeling positions, a thicker mat is recommended to minimize pressure on the joints. For bodyweight exercises and functional training, a thinner mat can provide more stability and increase freedom of movement.

Material of the gymnastics mat:

NBR foam mats: These provide excellent cushioning, durability and slip resistance. They are environmentally friendly, easy to clean and odorless. Ideal for intensive training and frequent use.

Cork mats: Cork mats are sustainable, offer excellent grip and are hypoallergenic. They are durable and retain their quality even with intensive use.

Size of the exercise mat: Choose the size of your mat based on your training needs. Standard mats (approx. 60 cm x 180 cm) are sufficient for most exercises. For larger bodies or special applications, you can use larger mats (approx. 60 cm x 200 cm) or wide rehab mats (from 100 cm x 200 cm).

Non-Slip Gym Mat: A non-slip mat is crucial for safe training. It ensures that you have a firm grip on the floor and minimizes the risk of injury. The non-slip properties of the mat offer you safety and confidence throughout your workout.
