It's astounding that some companies are
selling exercise and Yoga mats for $100.00 and up. What's
even more astounding is that people actually buy them! I guess
it's understandable if it's for commercial use, but still...
As long as the mat is easy to clean, stays hygienic,
is durable, and offers a long life, it will stand up to the
most demanding of fitness programs. You really shouldn't need
to spend more than $20.00, or even $15.00, on an ideal mat.
The following is a list of various exercise
mats, all under $20.00, that you can use for all kinds of
floor based exercise programs...
The
Travel Exercise Mat
Very light weight and easy to fold or roll, the Travel Exercise
Mat is portable and ideal to take to classes or travelling.
It's not especially thick, 1.6mm, but it has an appealing
price of just $11.99.
Classic
Yoga/Pilates Mat
Double the thickness of the Travel Mat, and slightly longer,
the Classic Yoga/Pilates Mat is also foldable and portable.
Available in 3 colors, you can get this one for $15.95.
Deluxe
Exercise Mat
This mat is found in many gyms, yoga/pilates, and various
other fitness classes. A higher quality than the two previous
mats mentioned, and offers more durability and thickness (5mm).
Available in 5 different colors, you can find this mat at,
MatsMatsMats, which also offers bulk purchasing. Available
for $17.95 or as low as $11.00 per mat when purchasing in
bulk.
Mesh
Exercise Mat
If you are a sweater, this mat is definitely for you! An open
weave designe allows for ventilation and prevents moisture
build up. It offers the same thickness as the deluxe mat,
but costs slightly more at, $20.95, not far off of our $20.00
budget!
