Really strong: exercise mats in different thicknesses

Gym mats - welcome matsThe most important function of an exercise mat is in most cases the padding. Gymnastics, yoga, Pilates, or other forms of exercise often require sitting for long periods of time or rolling onto your back.

A hard or uneven surface can be a painful affair, especially when doing exercises that put a lot of strain on the knees or spine. Depending on the strength of the Gym mat, you can expect different thicknesses of padding.

Important: The thickness affects the size and weight of the mat – this is particularly relevant if you want to transport it rolled up.

Usually, Yoga mats are 3 mm to 8 mm thick and are suitable for yoga in your own four walls as well as outdoors.

In contrast, Gym mats usually have a shoulder strap and were developed with special attention to light material so that you can easily take them with you anywhere. The ideal fitness companions!

Gym mats must be non-slip

Another important property of all types of Gym mats is their slip resistance. Thanks to the materials used, they provide support even on smooth surfaces.

This is important because the mat slipping away is not only bad for your concentration and other training partners, it can also be dangerous. Above all, mats with a textured surface offer ideal grip and thus ensure a perfect hold, even if you work up a sweat.

Clean the Gym mats properly

So that you can enjoy your exercise mat for a long time, here are some practical tips for easy and correct cleaning:

  • Periodically wipe your mat with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
  • A mixture of apple cider vinegar and water has a disinfecting effect, protects the environment, and can therefore be used very well as a cleaning agent for your mat.
  • Make sure that the gym mat is completely dry before rolling it up, otherwise bad smells will soon arise from the moisture.
  • Some Gym mats, such as the yoga mat, have an antibacterial coating and are impermeable to water.
  • Very stubborn stains, for example from grass or oil, can be easily treated with a mixture of lemon juice and baking powder. Simply let the stain soak briefly and then remove it by gently rubbing it.
  • Regular cleaning not only extends the lifespan of your mat, it also prevents it from becoming a bacterial thrower and smelling uncomfortable.
