How do I choose the right yoga or exercise mat for my workout?
When choosing a mat, consider the following factors:
- Thickness: Thicker mats offer more cushioning for joint support, while thinner mats provide a firmer surface for better stability. Choose the thickness based on your comfort and the type of workout you're doing.
- Material: Look for non-toxic, durable materials like PVC, TPE, or natural rubber that offer both comfort and slip resistance.
- Size: Ensure the mat is large enough to accommodate your movements. Standard mats are typically 68 inches long, but extra-long mats are available for taller individuals.
- Texture: Mats with a textured surface provide better grip and traction, reducing the risk of slipping during workouts.
