Folding Exercise Mat ... or roll up?

Size counts when choosing a folding exercise mat ... or a roll up exercise mat for that matter.

The right size and material are key when considering which portable gym mat is going to work best for you and your form of exercise.
Do your workouts become easier? No, but they will be more comfortable and safe, allowing you to focus on pushing yourself to the limit.

The best mat will:

1. Be long enough and wide enough for your body
2. Provide sufficient support for your particular type of workout
3. Be convenient to carry so you're not tempted to leave it at home

Exercise mats are made from from a lightweight material and are designed to be easy to carry with you on your regular (hopefully) trips to the gym.

They're divided into two broad groups - roll up and folding exercise mats.

Do you push yourself to the max with a tough workout that really makes you sweat?
If so, the texture and absorbency of the exercise mat are going to be very important to you.
The last thing you want is a floor mat that becomes slippery and dangerous when you sweat on it.
For this kind of high intensity workout you will probably look at buying a folding exercise mat. Make sure it has a covering that is designed to stay effective even when it has a little sweat dripped on it.

Whether you choose roll up or folding, a good exercise mat will help you get the most out of your exercise program ... while providing you with a safe and comfortable platform.
