Fitness 1 1 year, engaged in fitness coaching for 6 years. Now, in addition to working in the gym, I will also practice at home for 2-5 hours. Recently, many friends are discussing how to choose a floor mat with exercise effect in the family gym. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to have an independent gym at home to exercise. For example, at home, you can use professional home sports mats. I can move it to any open space at home to exercise, sometimes without any equipment, and the fitness effect will not be worse than that in the gym.

At present, there are many kinds of floor mats, but none of them can meet the needs of family fitness. How to choose a professional fitness mat? Let's take a look at the floor mat I used before.

ground

Use: move directly on the floor.

Materials: wooden floor, ceramic tile, cement.

Advantages: good stability.

Disadvantages: the floor is easy to wear; Easy to slip and get hurt when exercising; Without protective shock absorption function, joints are easy to be injured.

yoga mat

Usage: generally used for practicing yoga, and can be moved to any open space at home alone.

Material: NBR, thermoplastic elastomer, rubber, polyurethane, natural rubber.

General dimensions: 183cm*6 1cm.

Advantages: light and easy to move, comfortable, very friendly to joints, protecting the floor.

Disadvantages: slag is not durable; The mat will slide during exercise; Poor stationarity

Gym splicing mat

Usage: generally used in commercial gymnasiums, small pieces are spliced to cover the whole floor.

Material: rubber

General size: 50cm*50cm

Advantages: Thickening and shock absorption; Resistance to smashing and durability; Don't move while exercising; Protect the floor; Reduce noise; Comfortable fitness equipment

Disadvantages: the cost of floor splicing and covering of the whole family gym is too high; Moving requires disassembly and splicing, which is complicated and inconvenient to operate; There are gaps in the stitching, so hands and feet are easy to fall in and get injured, and they are easy to fall and move when exercising.

The above mats have been used for 1 1 year in my fitness career, and they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, but I never gave up looking for the ideal family fitness mat until one day my fitness partner sent me this picture, and I knew that this might be what I had been looking for! So I immediately found it in Almighty Ma Yunjia and took it home.

IKU large family sports mat

Usage: specially used for family fitness.

Material: high density PVC

General size: multi-specification, 300cm* 180cm (maximum area)

Advantages:

1. A huge piece of high-quality summer sleeping mat can be spread out in any open space at home, and can do all kinds of family sports, such as P90X, insanity, Plyo, T25, HIIT, TRX, rope skipping, aerobics and aerobics.

2. The mat won't move when you jump, so you can hold it firmly.

3. You can wear shoes for high-intensity training, and the mat will not fall off or stretch. Stability will not be lost, but comfort will be a hundred times stronger.

4. The feel density is very high, and 7mm thickening is enough for shock absorption, which can cushion the joints during exercise and protect the floor well.

5. It should have the effect of reducing noise. It's been a long time since I complained about the property at home.

6. A roll can be stored, moved, rolled, reliably placed on the wall, or placed under the sofa, which does not occupy living space.

7. Fitness equipment can be padded, but heavy equipment will leave traces.

Disadvantages: The weight is much heavier than splicing mats and yoga mats, but it can be moved.

The above is my personal fitness experience, and I hope it will help you how to choose a fitness mat!
