For example, yoga-yoga mat, fitness -IKU professional fitness mat.
Because yoga and fitness are two different sports, yoga mat is not equal to yoga mat. The differences between them are as follows:
First, the use is different:
Yoga mats are mainly used to practice yoga, and the basic movements are mainly stretching and relaxing, such as under dogs, mountains, cats, babies and lifting corpses.
Fitness mats are mainly used for fitness exercises, and the basic movements are mainly running, jumping and pressing, such as T25, P90X, Crazy, HIIT, Aerobics, Skipping Rope and Bobby Jump. At present, IKU is the first professional brand to develop sports mats.
Second, the materials are different:
The materials of yoga mats are generally divided into rubber foam, TPE foam, EVA, latex mat, NBR mat and so on. Uniform surface particles, full of bubbles, soft to the touch, non-toxic, tasteless, non-slip, strong resilience, affinity for human skin, is an ideal choice for yoga practitioners.
IKU professional fitness mat is made of high-quality environmentally-friendly PVC, which has high-end quality such as hard surface, wear resistance, natural environmental protection, no odor, safety, non-toxicity, non-slip grip, resilience and super earthquake resistance.
Third, the size is different:
The regular size of the yoga mat is 183cm*6 1cm, which is slightly larger than the height of the practitioner and suitable for practicing various yoga poses.
IKU professional fitness mat has a minimum size of 190cm*80cm and a maximum size of 300cm* 180cm. You can choose the appropriate cushion size according to different fitness exercises. The bigger the size, the better for intensive training!
Fourth, the thickness is different:
The thickness of the yoga mat varies from 1 to 15 mm, and the thickness of different materials is different. The thickness of PU glue is between 1-6mm, and the thickness of TPE is between 6- 15mm, which is soft and comfortable. Practitioners can choose the appropriate thickness according to their own practice stage.
IKU professional fitness mat is 7-8mm thick, because most fitness exercises are high-intensity exercises, neither thick nor thin can keep the body stable during exercise and protect joints and floors.
Five, the grip is different:
The materials of yoga mat are rubber foam, TPE foam, EVA, latex mat and NBR, which are light and easy to carry. In the static yoga pose, the grip is suitable for cha-cha, but when you do a lot of exercise, the mat will move with the movement.
IKU professional fitness mat is made of high-density professional-grade PVC foam material, which is high in density and heavy, suitable for almost all flat floors, firm in grip and intact during exercise.
Sixth, the durability is different:
The surface of yoga mat pays attention to the affinity of human skin, and it is delicate and comfortable to practice barefoot on the mat;
IKU professional fitness mat has hard surface, abrasion resistance and can withstand high-intensity training of shoes.
Yoga and fitness are two completely different sports. Yoga needs to choose a professional yoga mat, so does fitness!
