Nowadays, people exercise less and less, mainly because they can't find equipment when they want to exercise and don't know what exercise is better. Yoga mats are very convenient. You can do yoga on it when you want to use it, and you don't have to put it away. This is also an exercise for yourself. Let's introduce the materials of yoga mats in Bian Xiao.

1. What are the materials of the yoga mat?

1, TPE material

TPE is the top grade of yoga mat, which contains no chloride and metal elements and is antistatic. Each floor mat is about 1200g, which is about 300g lighter than PVC foam floor mats and is more suitable for carrying out. Soft, docile, strong grip, safer on any ground. The weight is about 300 grams, which is convenient to carry around. However, the price of yoga mats made of TPE is high.

2, EVA material

Its disadvantage is that it is too soft, heavy in taste and thin in thickness, and the thickest can only be processed to 4mm, so this kind of mat is not suitable for yoga and can only be used as an ordinary fitness mat, such as running in situ and skipping rope.

3. PVC materials

PVC foamed floor mats are widely used, cheap, diverse in color, low in production cost and simple in process, and easy to make signs according to customers' requirements, which are deeply loved by the public. Its disadvantage is that plastic products are not easy to decompose naturally and pollute the earth.

Second, how to choose a yoga mat

1, performance

First of all, you should have a certain resilience, because if the resilience of the yoga mat is poor, you will feel as painful as lying on the ground when you step on it and even get hurt easily.

2. Anti-skid performance

For beginners, if the anti-skid performance is not good, it will make the body unstable and the muscles tense, and it is difficult to find the feeling of exerting strength. In addition, it will make people lose their center of gravity and control during exercise, leading to falls or sprains.

3. Thickness

The thickness of yoga mats in the market is generally 1mm, 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm. 5mm is suitable for practitioners at all levels. After practicing to a certain extent, you can change your own yoga mats with different thicknesses.

Friends who like to do yoga will have a yoga mat at home, but yoga mats are also made of many materials. You'd better know before choosing them. For friends who want to buy yoga mats, Bian Xiao also listed some key points for you to choose, hoping to be useful to everyone.
